SQL Server reporting services-- table group not setting page break

Question

Hi everyone,

I’m using SSRS 2005 and had a question about table grouping and page breaks. There’s a table in my report that’s not inserting page breaks and I’m hard pressed to see why.

I’ve assigned a DataSet to this table, and am displaying a group header in it-- the grouping is based on a record ID value. I don’t have any footers, nor am I displaying any details rows. The group header is where all the display gets done.

In the header grouping I’ve selected the “Insert a page break before this table” but I don’t get any page breaks. The records come one after another with nothing inbetween. Here’s a snippet of the report’s XML to give an idea of what I’m doing:

  <Rectangle Name="rectangle2">
<ReportItems>
  <Table Name="MyDataTable">
    <DataSetName>MyDataSet</DataSetName>
    <PageBreakAtStart>true</PageBreakAtStart>
    <Top>0.125in</Top>
    <TableGroups>
      <TableGroup>
        <Grouping Name="MyDataTable_Group1">
          <GroupExpressions>
            <GroupExpression>=Fields!RecordID.Value</GroupExpression>
          </GroupExpressions>
          <PageBreakAtStart>true</PageBreakAtStart>
        </Grouping>
        <Header>
          <TableRows>
         ….
        </TableRows>

I’ve got a Page break set in the grouping, but the breaks are not taking hold. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? Thanks much.
