Reading all the instructions on the previous pages, I found the a solution. My main report tablix needed to be grouped into individual rows, and those row groups needed page breaks.
To add a page break to a grouping in a table
- In Layout view, click the table so that column and row handles appear above and next to the table.
- Right-click the row handle on the right side of your row group Tablix, go into the `Row Group` submenu, and then click `Group Properties...`.
- The Tablix needs to be grouped by the rows you want page breaks between. On the `General` tab, add a `Group on` expression. In my case, it was VehicleID.
- On the Page `Breaks` tab, click `Between each instance of the group`
- Click `OK`
Problem
I created a report in Visual Studio 2012 that has two report definitions. The main report section repeats once per vehicle, and it has a subreport that repeats once for each delivery that vehicle has. The main report design looks as follows: The orange bar on the left side indicates that the rectangle on which I have all the other elements located is selected. I have set the following properties on it: I have also set `Add a page break before` and `Add a page break after` on the Tablix that contains the other elements: There is no other Rectangle or Tablix on this report design. My problem is that it doesn't always do a page-break before and after. On pages with only a little information, it puts each vehicle on the same page, as follows: But when a vehicle is longer than a single page, it spills into the next page, and the next vehicle does not add a page break before it, like so: How can I force the report to always insert a page break before a new vehicle?
