Long text starts on next page -- sql server reporting services

A textbox has an implicit keep-together flag set on it which dictates the
behavior you are seeing. It is not currently possible to modify this
behavior.

Workarounds include breaking the text into multiple textboxes.

I have used the workaround you suggested but many reports we use pull data
dynamically from a database that is often 60-100 lines long. We get a lot of
page breaks between table & group header rows which not only makes the report
messy but wastes a lot of paper. we also tried using a list with several
textboxes in it and set the keeptogether proprty of the list to true but now
the top textbox gets separated from the one below it if the one below it
needs to span pages. Any other ideas? Thanks.

I see this as a significant problem with the Reporting Services. I'm using the product in a solution over Cognos reporting for sending official Maine State correspondence. Often times text boxes contain denial reasons for medical procedures and become lengthy out of necessity. With the header and introduction on the first page and the discussion on the second, the apprearance certainly presents an un-professional appearance. I'm now working on a multiple text-box solution. I would favor the keep-together property much like comparable situations in Microsoft's Access reports product. There may be reasons this can't be done that I'm not seeing, but my vote is to fix this apparently problematic issue.
