KeepTogether

I'm in a search for a solution. I need to keep a group together. If it doesn't fit on the same page as the previous group it should start on a new page. I cannot believe reporting services unable to provide this.
Ok, table's grouping doesn't have keeptogether option (but the table itself has...).
Let's see List. It doesn't work. I hoped SP1 will solve it, but doesn't. Shall we wait till SP2 or the Yukon version of RS?KeepTogether on Grouping is on our future features wishlist.
(Note: KeepTogether on List wouldn't help since it tries to keep the entire
list together, not the individual groups)

Shall we wait till SP2 or the Yukon version of RS?|||OK, then what's the functionality of the _current_ KeepTogether property? Nothing, I suppose...

but if anybody is still reading 18 pages deep, I'll share my workaround
in order to achieve Keep together on groups, I've been nesting tables within tables -- nested in a "merged cell" group header of the parent table
I create the parent table, group it on group1, then I merge all cells in the group header. Into the merged cell group header, I drop another table, and group that table on group2, and so on...
to make an example, say I have a U.S.A. report, that I want to show State/County/City details.
My parent table is Grouped on States. I merge cells in the State Group header, and drop another table inside the merged cells. This new table I group on Counties. I merge cells in the Group header here as well, and drop another table inside grouped on Cities... I can then say "keep together" on any of these tables
it's a pain initially, but once you get the hang of it, it seems to work... at least it has for me...
hope this makes sense...

How you link the parent table and the child tables?
