Hi! I'm trying to do a BREAK ON key_field SKIP 1; in a SQL script. The funny thing is that is works just fine on the first page and then stops skipping! It keeps breaking, but won't skip any more (no matter if I set it to SKIP 1 or SKIP 5 or whatever).

I tried setting the pagesize to a huge number and then it skips for the whole report. But when I want to print, I'll need to set it back to something sensible.

Has anyone experienced this before or does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!
