is there a trick to display page numbers in browse mode !!!

Nope.

The thing is, when you're in Browse mode, FMP doesn't know what page you're on. Pagination changes with Page Setup, number of found records, sort order, etc. FMP calculates page number only when going to Preview mode (or, of course, when printing).

There is a trick, but it may or may not be any good for you, because like dan said, Browse just isn't always relevant to what prints. So...

Make a script that goes to Preview mode, and sets a global field to Status(CurrentPageNumber). Then back to Browse.

This trick is often used to go to the last page and grab the page number, so that reports can display "Page 2 of 10" for example -- but that's for printing, not for Browse.

If you happen to know how many records will fit on a page, then you can make a calculation like this:

Status(CurrentRecordNumber)/gRecordsPerPage

and display the result on your browse layout. But, you will have to update the value of gRecordsPerPage if your page setup changes.
