I think he was asking do I have any of the page number reset options set at the group level. I actually added the _pageno as a diagnostic tool whilst attempting to wrestle this beast into submission.

Just an observation as I have also spent many, many happy hours (not) battling with the report writer... 😊 Dave Crozier Software Development Manager Flexipol Packaging Ltd. -----Original Message----- From: ProFox <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Richard Kaye Sent: 20 April 2018 13:40 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Fun (not) with the report writer Certainly a possibility, Frank. I will check that. The odd part is there are no more detail rows at the point where I was getting the extra page. I eventually got this to a point where the extra page was suppressed, and the page number incremented properly, which was the object of the exercise. I still see the group header on a new page even after the last detail row prints but I need to let it sit for a bit before seeing if I can improve it more. Hours spent with the report writer can be a draining experience... 😊 -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Frank Cazabon Sent: Friday, April 20, 2018 8:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Fun (not) with the report writer A possible explanation for page 1 on both pages: do you have a grouping set to restart the page number when the group breaks?
