I am a newcomer to Paradox 3.5, and I have a silly question about it.
I have searched the "Presenting Data" manual several times, but can't
find any help for my problem.
 
When designing a report in Paradox 3.5, is there any way to prevent a
lonely group header from printing at the bottom of a page when the first
record of that group appears on the next page?
 
Here's what I mean:
 
I would like to print a client address listing in the following format:
 
4/23/91              Client Listing                      Page 1
 
-A-
 
All-American Company
15 Your Street
Anytown, US 11111
 
Another Company
Box 15
Cleveland, OH 44444
 
-B-
 
Big Company
Address
City
 
    ...and so on.  Everything is fine until, at the bottom of page 3,
    this happens:
 
Final Company
Address
City
 
-G-
 
4/23/91              Client Listing                      Page 4
 
Good Company
Address
City
 
Great Company
Address
City
 
   ...and so forth.
 
Since there was no room for the first G record at the bottom of page 3,
that lonesome G group header shouldn't be there either--should it?
 
I've tried putting the PAGEBREAK command at various places in the
report form.  Either it has no effect, or it causes every group to start
a new page, which I don't want.
 
Is there any way around this?
 
BTW, I used the "free-form" report.  Would using the "tabular" version
(or
whatever the opposite of free-form is) make any difference?
 
Thanks.
