I am using vb6 and crystal report 10.

In my report i want that the page number of the page should not start with 1 ,rather with number given by user. for which i made a formula field with the coding

 

NumberVar startNum := 5;
"Page " + ToText((PageNumber + startNum), 0)

Now it work fine,but using the above formula page number always start with 6.

I want that the page number now has to start with the number given by the user at run time.for this i had tried this formula

NumberVar startNum := salesfrm.startpageno.text;
"Page " + ToText((PageNumber + startNum), 0)

where salesfrm is the form at which by clicking user open report and startpageno is a text field at salesfrm form.

But got error.

can any body correct the mistake OR there is some other way to add or subtract some number in a particular field in crystal report.

Thanks

You are right but my question is not that the page number is starting with 5 or 6 its a simple plus minus game rather my question is,

 

 if i make a formula field and write the code

 

NumberVar startNum := 5;
"Page " + ToText((PageNumber + startNum), 0)

 

then page number always start with 6 ok now i want the user to give option at run to to choose the page number to start with.

I am not getting right how to code it that it will accept parameter at run time from user.Even by asking like input box in vb6 or some other way so the user can give at run time the page number to start.

 

Hope now you understand what i actually want.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

i am again telling what i actully want simple  look at this code
