Page number error

[abomb]

Hi everyone,

I'm having problems with ## for page numbering. It shows "1" for all pages printed. Any suggestions?

I don't know if it matters, but I've set up a global for last page and put in my script.

Go to record/request Last

insert page in global

Go to record/request first

The last page insert is working correctly.

In layout i have "page" ## "of" g_lastpage

make certain that no parts "restart page numbering" at 1. This is in Layout - Part Setup screen.

Hey Keith,

That is not it. I'm pretty good with the reports and it works how I want. It's strange because I have another report with just the page number (using ##), but not the script for page "1 of x" and it works fine. Is it the script part?

Try putting just the page number on the layout. Does that work?

[abomb]

do you mean just type it in? The report can vary in length so...

But I can just type the number in on the layout but this won't help if "2" shows up on 4 pages.

No, I meant the page number symbol (##), because it's not completely clear to me what you mean by: "In layout i have "page" ## "of" g_lastpage." Is g_lastpage a merge field in a single block of text? Are the quote marks there to signify separate text blocks?
