How do you have REPORTBEHAVIOR set? --

As I know I had the problem in the past as well. I don't think VFP can truly generate the total page count until AFTER the report is completed. So - what people have suggested in the past - which I think I did once - is to run the report Twice. The 1st time around it will generate the total # of pages. Then you capture that value and then USE it when printing the actual report the 2nd time. Maybe something like the 1st time around the report is generated but goes to a PDF file or something like that. Although - that part is just a WAG on my part...

Outermost group is CUST_ID. In Report Writer, Data Grouping tab, I've selected Group starts on NEW PAGE NUMBER 1 (the last radio option). I must admit I've never used this option before; most of my reports are always the New Line or New Page option. I'm using this expression in my footer to produce what you see: "Page " + allt(str(_pageno)) + " of " + allt(str( _pagetotal)) Obviously the _pagetotal internal variable is not getting set correctly. Ideas on how to fix? tia! --Mike [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/bn4pr10mb09131861aaa91ae714355875d2...@bn4pr10mb0913.namprd10.prod.outlook.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
