Section.KeepTogether property (Access)

Use the KeepTogether property for a section to print a form or report section all on one page. For example, you might have a group of related information that you don't want printed across two pages. The KeepTogether property applies only to form and report sections (except page headers and page footers). Read/write Boolean.

Syntax

expression.KeepTogether

expression A variable that represents a Section object.

Remarks

The KeepTogether property for a section uses the following settings.

Setting	Visual Basic	Description
Yes	True	Microsoft Access starts printing the section at the top of the next page if it can't print the entire section on the current page.
No	False	(Default) Access prints as much of the section as possible on the current page and prints the rest on the next page.

You can set the KeepTogether property for a section only in form Design view or report Design view.

Usually, when a page break occurs while a section is being printed, Access continues printing the section on the next page. By using the section's KeepTogether property, you can print the section all on one page. If a section is longer than one page, Access starts printing it on the next page and continues on the following page.

If the KeepTogether property for a group is set to Whole Group or With First Detail, and the KeepTogether property for a section is set to No, the KeepTogether property setting for the section is ignored.
