Hi Guys,

Has anyone got a method of referencing a Page Number?

For Example; there is text in 'Group Header A'. What I want to do is pull the page number from that section (and others) and display it in the Report Header.

Using the PageNumber function obviously then displays the page number of the Report Header.

Sorry Dr4ke, I do not have a suggestion for you, but I am curious about this, so I am going to follow this post.

I believe I have seen this with some sort of sub report using shared variables inside the subreport to build a text string in that report footer and passing that back to the main report as a string to be displayed in the

Ok - I have it working, sort of! I have created a test report to test the method and have 3 sections, each is presented on its own page:

1) Report Header
2) Details a
3) Details b

in Details a the following formula has been created:

 Shared StringVar PageNum:= ToText(PageNumber); 

a Subreport was then inserted and the below formula inserted into the Report Footer

 Shared StringVar PageNum;

Shared StringVar PageNumA:= PageNum;



PageNumA; 

A third formula has now been created (below) and placed in the Main Report Header. Unfortunately the field is then completely blank; when placed in Details a or Details b it works and shows the Details a page number. I am assuming this is because the formula's are calculated after the Report Header section. Using 'Whileprintingrecords' doesn't work; I believe because PageNumber is always printed at that stage anyway. Any suggestions?

 Shared StringVar PageNumA;
