Default Page x of y in FMP6 (the "y" part)? - 09-08-2005 , 07:20 AM






I have the first part for a footer as being:

Page ##

but for some reason the total number of pages stopped appearing and I
only just realized that. I had v5x before and I got 6 some time ago
but never realized this as I only just re-printed a couple of
solutions that only recently needed updating. Anyway, was wondering
how to get this to work again so that my reports will say
"Page 2 of 36", to give an example.

Thanks!

The idea is to include in the script (FMP6) that launches the printing
the following lines :

Preview mode
Go To record (last)
Set field(gPage, Status ( CurrentRecordCount )
Go To record (first)

and put in merge mode gPage after the 'of' : "Page ## of <<gPage>>".

Thanks, I was always going back into Browse mode to get the global to
update and then back into preview mode, not a big deal unless it's a
large report.
