Spiral Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hello all, I created a columnar list report layout. Now, what I want to show the user is the total number of pages. In the footer, I have a page number symbol with the word "Page" in it. When I click preview mode, it reads Page 1. The report is actually 3 pages long. I want it to say: Page 1 of 3. How can I get it to show me the total number of pages in this report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Try JMO's technique: Page # of # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiral Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 bcooney, I setup my db to match JMO's technique and for some reason it is not working. I inserted the "Records found" field in my report to verify that it has a value and it correctly shows the number of records, but the "Total pages" field is not showing any value. Any ideas?

Lee Smith Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 There is a script that has to be imported to make this work. It basically goes to the last page, and then returns to the first page. This populates the Total pages to be printed. It also takes you into the Preview Mode where the pages will then show. HTH Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 As Lee says, check the report script for the setting of the global Total Pages field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiral Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Sorry, forgot to mention that I also matched the report script and it still isn't working for me. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiral Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Ok. It's working. I had the pause option checked for enter preview mode in the script. Big thank you for your help. :;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
