Jan, Did that. It is not a problem with variable definition. The problems appears to be in determining the break point. At on time I created a version that included the two mentioned variables on the detail line. I just can figure out how to make it detect that 5 lines have printed and to break so that the break footer line (which is a blank line) then prints. As you can see from the v9.x example it prints 6 lines , prints the break footer, prints 1 line, prints the break footer, prints 6 lines etc
