Does RS have anything like "keeptogether" that will try to keep all records within a group on the same page?

I currently have a table report that has several groups. With one of my groups, I will have 2 records show up on page 2, and the other 2 records on page 3.

I would prefer to push all 4 records to page 3.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

You might try the Page break at start in the groups general properties.

Thanks.

I tried that, but it makes final report look odd. Many of the groups will contain only 2-7 records. So when employees export the report in .pdf, they get 7-8 pages with each page containing just a few lines.

I was hoping that RS had a built in way to try to better manage the final output.

I need to modify my original question. RS does have a KeepTogether option, but it appears to be limited to the table.

I was hoping their was a Group level KeepTogether option.

This don't work for me at all. I have five tables on my report and they all have keep-together checked. When I present the report in Internet Explorer it pagebreaks in the middle of tables as it feels like.

I cannot use pagebreak at start/end because the number of rows in each table varies from 3 to 15 + table header.

Want I want is all tables on one page when it's a low row number and pagebreak before a table when it won't fit at the end of a page. This should be basic functionality. Is it a bug? I'm running SQL Server 2000.

I also tried putting the tables in rectangles but that produced the same result. This is very frustrating. Otherwise I like SQL Reporting Services just fine.
