Hi! I'm new using crystal reports 2008.
I have a subreport with 15 detail sections, and i want to keep 3 of them always together in the same page. Is it possible? Thanks!

There is probably no simple way to do what you want. If the detail sections you want are of a consistent size and your layout will support such a style you could force a new page to hold the sections. 
 
If they are not a consistent size you could create formulas based on record counts or something similar to try to control the page breaks.
 
A final thought, you may be able to create a new subreport holding those three details sections and then place it into the appropriate place on your report. I am not confident it will give you the look you want.
 
 
There may be better solutions and perhaps someone else on the forum will offer them.
 
Regards,
