Simple calc for total page count?

[jms181]

How do I create a total page count field to put at the bottom of every page of a printed report? I'd like the footer of each page to read "Pg 1 of 5," "Pg 2 of 5," etc. I'm printing a report composed of a variable number of portal rows.

I know I can figure out how many portal rows take up a page, do the math, and derive the number as a function of the number of portal rows. But is there a simpler way?

Thanks!

There's an example on how to do this at my web site:

Ooops, you shouldn't be printing portals. It's best to print a list layout based on the related table.

Also note that with reports that summarise data, generating the last page number (which involves browsing to the last preview page) can take a significant amount of time -- think several minutes, not seconds.
