I have a report with two detail sections. Da and Db. The report spans several pages, and I have found that some of the Da and Db sections are being separated by a page break.  How can I keep the Details sections together and stop them from being separated by a page break>

Thanks,
Flanman

Have you tried going into the Section Expert for Details and checking Keep Together?

Problem solved. Each details sub was checked to keep  together, but not the full/mail details section. Once I did that both details sections are now staying together. Thanks for the tip.

I am having issue even after I check main detail section "keep together" and sub detail section "keep together" It still spread over multiple pages.

There are a lot of Keep together options with in Crystal.

Each one is specifically in reference to where it is located and only applies to exactly that.
It will still split things they are too large to fit onto one page even if it were to move it to the top of the next page.
 
I am guessing that you might be requesting how to keep all of the detail rows that make up one grouping with the group header and footer together.
This can be found in
group expert
select the group
select options button
select options tab
mark 'Keep Group together' as True
 
If this is not what you need please explain in more detail.
