Hi Friends,
I created five detail sections and set property Keep Together for all detail section. But Sometime 2 detail section displayed at first page and remaining 3 detail sections displayed at second page.
I want all five detail section on same page either first or second.

Please help me.

Keep Together applies to each section, not to all of the details sections together.
 
Do you have any groups?  Have you turned on Keep Together for the inner-most group?  That will keep all of the detail sections together.

I have found that both methods listed for "Keep together" work the same for me.
What I really want is "Keep with next".
I'm using Group Header 1 for the name, Group Header 2 for a 1 line sub-heading and Group Header 2 for a long paragraph. I never want the Name or the name and subheading to appear on 1 page and the paragraph start on the next.
I've tried lots of grouping options and the only one I've come up with is to use a subreport and that is limited by the "no nested subreports" problem/feature.
Anything else I can try?

Ok I have a work around which may work for some people depending on what you need to do.

You need to Put your group heading 1 into group heading 2, suppress group heading 1.
Then go to section expert - group heading 2 and insert a SQL field that will turn off and on the "Supress(no drill down)".

I cannot give you the SQL for the SQL expression field because I dont know your database but it will be like something below:

select min({grouped item])
from table table_min
and table_min.field = table.field

The trick is to get first value of group1.

In your Suppress field formula you want to test it against itself and return true false.
E.g.
Case when @SQLExpressionField = [grouped item] then false else true end

Your new group heading 2 should only show at the start of each group1.

Then you make sure your keep together is ticked inside group heading 2 and the whole group will stick together and move to another page carrying the heading with it if it is bigger than a page.

Very hard to explain but it works.

Ahhh. Finally found the answer I was looking for:

1. Click the group you want kept together, in my case, Group Header #2, right click the group and choose Change Group.
2. click to the Options tab and
3. tick Keep Group Together.
