Page numbering

[researcher]

I have to print part of a database to include as an appendix to a report. Is there a way to get the page numbers to be consecutive to the page numbers from the report?

Since each record is much smaller than a page (more like a list), I can't just create a serial number field and stick it at the bottom of the page. When I use the "paste special" function, it doesn't allow me to choose which number I want to have as my first page.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Try creating an unstored calculation field PageNo as follows:

gStartingPage - 1 + Status(CurrentPage)

where gStartingPage is a global that holds the starting page number

I have tried this in my project, and it doesn't work. The output is my starting page number on each page.

Does where you put the stated field have anything to do with it? I have it on a normal footer. Do I need it in a different part?

Starting page numbers are in the layout part options: double-click on the layout's body part.
