Hi... I am feeling very stupid, but I cannot get Status(CurrentPageNumber) to work for me. I defined a field "pagenote" as a calculation Status(CurrentPageNumber). It's simple, and should it not return the current page number for any record in a list format when I preview? Wouldn't records on page 2 have the number 2 in the field "pagenote" when I preview that page in the list?

I've tried to define this status function a number of ways, but cannot seem to get it to display anything other than 0. You wouldn't think I've been using fmp for years... this should be filemaker 101, but I'm drawing a blank on what I'm missing.

fmp 6.0.4 on OS X 10.2.3

thx for any advice!

The only thing I can think of is checking if you set the calculation as UNSTORED. That's a common condition for status functions.

And that was precisely the problem. I had not checked to keep things unstored, so old values were apparently being kept. Setting to be 'unstored' resolved the issue and the little monster now behaves.

What great ears you have.

thanks
