Scott;

I have a parent class for report forms which has this code in a method:

Note: Additional objects such as cntOutput3 are used in this example.

PRIVATE pnPages
pnPages = 0
* This value will be passed to the report to indicate
* the total number of pages....

LOCAL lcFile
* Create a temporary file based on the report to be run...
lcFile = SYS(3) + ".TMP"
REPORT FORM (ThisForm.pReportName) TO FILE (lcFile) NoConsole

* Erase the file-it is no longer needed....
Erase(lcFile)
* Now we have the total number of pages of the report...
pnPages = _PAGENO


DO CASE
* View report on screen...
CASE ThisForm.cntOutput3.opgOutput.Value = 1

REPORT FORM (ThisForm.pReportName) PREVIEW
* Print the report...
CASE ThisForm.cntOutput3.opgOutput.Value = 2
REPORT FORM (ThisForm.pReportName) TO PRINTER PROMPT NOCONSOLE

ENDCASE

Then on your report footer you can place two field objects with the word OF between them:


“Page “ + ALLTRIM(STR(_PAGENO))___ OF pnPages
