[AccessD] Conditional keep together

I started to put a conditional keep together in code on format. This  
actually crashes Access. Only in the on open event will it work.

I have started experimenting with adding a conditional page break. I  
can get it to work only when I want, but the records still start on  
page 2. I just get a page break in the middle of page 2 rather than  
moving the first part of the records to page 1
