Default Supressing blank lines

I just converted from Access97 and the reports did not convert. I tried to
duplicate a report I wrote well over a decade ago and can't get it quite
right. basically I dont want each control break to generate a separate blank
line.

What I want
1999 group1 xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx
group2 xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx

what I get
1999
group1
xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx
group2
xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx

How can I suppress generating a new line on each control break?

Presumably you have group headers for the year and group number, and the
xxxx data is in the Detail section?

Move the year and the group number into the Detail section.
Then set the Hide Duplicates property to Yes for both text boxes.
