Default Report formatting hangs

This is probably to so with the properties of the sections and groupings. It
may be attempting to find a solution that's not possible.

To test if this is the problem, open the report in design view. In the
Sorting and Grouping box, make sure that each group header/foot is set to
"Do not keep together."

If that doesn't solve it, right-click the Detail section, and choose
Properties. On the Format tab of the properties box, set Keep Together to
No. Repeat for the other sections on the report.

I have a report (rptHV) that uses a query (qryHV) as its record source.
The
user opens a form (frmHVClient), chooses a name from a combo box, and then
clicks a command button (cmdClient) to run the report. The report works
fine
as long as certain client names are not chosen. If those certain client
names are chosen, a progress bar appears in the status area with the
message,
"Formatting report - press ctrl + Break to stop..." and the report hangs
and
never formats at all. Coincidentally (or not) the clients that cause the
issue are all assigned to the same staff member. I've looked at the data
in
those records several times and everything appears normal, so I'm at a
loss
as to why this is happening.
