AreaOptions Object
The AreaOptions object allows you to retrieve information and set options for a specified area of your report (that is, new page before, keep together, underlay section, etc.). An AreaOptions object is obtained from the Options property of the Area Object, Page 294.
Each report area is comprised of sections which can be formatted independently of each other by using the SectionOptions Object, Page 361. These section options are combined with the options set by using the AreaOptions Object to make up the final appearance of a section and an area of the report. The settings in the AreaOptions object will affect all sections within the area, while settings in the SectionOptions object will affect only the section to which they are set.
If there is a conflict of settings between the AreaOptions object and the SectionOptions object, the object with an option set to TRUE will override the setting for the other object. For example, if the AreaOptions object has the KeepTogether property set to TRUE, all sections within the area will have KeepTogether applied, even if the SectionOptions object for a section has KeepTogether set to FALSE. If, however, the AreaOptions object has KeepTogether set to FALSE, but a section within that area has KeepTogether set to TRUE, that section will have the KeepTogether format option applied.
If an area has only a single section, all options will be combined between both the AreaOption object and the SectionOptions object. All TRUE settings set in either object will result in a TRUE setting for the entire area and section. While changing format options for areas and sections in reports, be sure to keep track of settings in both the AreaOptions and SectionOptions objects.
