Number of pages in footer

This is a pretty simple thing I do in Excel all the time, but I can't find a Filemaker equivalent in the documentation.

In the footer of a report, I need to show "Page 1 of 5".

The first part (current page number - "##") is easy, but I can't find something which will display the total number of pages.

It's easy, but not obvious in FM. Create a field:

gLastPage (global, number)

Place: "## of <<gLastPage>>" in your footer.

Add to your print script:

Page Setup() like normal

...

Enter Preview Mode ()

Go to Record/Request/Page (Last)

Set Field (gLastPage, Status(CurrentPageNumber))

... then

Print

Enter Browse Mode
