Displaying record 'x of xx' in a portal

[ddreese]

Well, this is sort of a printing issue, but it has more to do with portals. I'm going to be printing a short portal on a form, should be no more than 10 rows. In each row I need it to print the current # and the total number of records.

For instance, the form is printing a child's information and I need it to print "Child x of xx" for each one. I'm sure this is possible, but I haven't done enough with pritning related records through portals to know how.

I know it's frowned upon printing through portals because it's not the least bit reliable, but I'm being forced to make and EXACT copy of a printed form, so I can't have seperate pages for different printed layouts.

Any help would be appreciated!

Can't you can use @@ to give you the portal record Number, and for the total number of of records use a Calc field with a count function of the total related records?
