I'm working in Filemaker 11 Advanced, and I have a database with 3 layouts (Section A, B and C) that need to be printed out to create the complete report. Each of the sections has a variable number of pages because of sliding fields. On each page, I need to indicate "Page X of Y". The last page number (Y) is not a problem, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get the actual page number (X) on each page. Help!

You could have a global field, ex - startPage__g, for section B and C, that holds the last pagenumber of the previous section and then calculate the current page number with

startPage__g + Get ( PageNumber )

The actual page number is the EASY part: insert menu, page number. I think the code is ##.
