Thanks Mike, I had not seen the HelpFile "Index" but I had already intuitively tried #page. However I have not been able to get it to work...before or after I consulted the Help File. When I enter the following into the Page Footer band I get error message of "Expression cannot be evaluated. (2179).
SET VAR vGetPage INTEGER (defined in Before Generate for Report) SET VAR vGetPage = .#page Or SET VAR vGetPage = (.#page) Same thing in trying to use the Expression Definitions...the value of #page cannot be obtained. Perhaps this is a bug that has been fixed since my version of 7.6. Additionally, I have tried doing my own page count by initializing a variable to 0 and having the variable increment by 1 on the Page Footer, Before Generate area. In that case, if the report is more that one page the variable reverts back a number after passing the report footer area. I placed the variables on the report and did a trace to see what was happening. It is not behaving as expected. For some reason, on this report, after the last page (and therefore passing the report footer) the page number is set back one number. I am still trying different scenarios to see if I can land on a work-around.
