>This report can print at night in a batch file. So, you see I don't want this to print IF the number of pages is too large (usually, it would only be 1 page... BUT.... you never know....).

>Given the name of the report is MissingRxNumbers and the Maximum Number of pages to print is MAXNUMTOPRINT, how would you go about coding this.....

>I assume you have to run the report once to get _PAGETOTAL, then something like this..
