Agree, but you need to use a variable carry View if using ? in View!!
e.g.
Public myVariable
myVariable = Thisform.txtKeyField.value

* In view...
Select ... from ... where ... and MyTable.KeyField = ?myVariable

Else the system prompt will give twice on the ? ask!!

No_of_Record_Per_page need you to observe and recalculate if change Brand Height

You require will be:
"Page: " +ALLTRIM(STR(_pageno))+" of "+ ;
ALLTRIM(STR(CEILING(RECCOUNT()/No_of_Record_per_page)))

Additional Remarks!!
It will make more complex if:
i) The Cover page and Footer page worth 1 whole page
ii) There are some deleted records...

If so, you're better calculate the field before put in report use!!
Count For !delete() and MyTable.KeyField = myVariable into ActualReccount
nTotalPage = Ceiling(ActualReccount / No_of_Record_per_page)

Beyond two suggestions, print twice OR make difficult calculation!
"Print Twice" will easy to do on print twice and no need to handle additional case but it worth Double time on SQL search
Whereas "Calculation" need well documentation on maintainance and need to do more tasks and prepare, of cos fast on print!

So, using which method will depend on your case, if searching time is fast,
use "Print Twice" else "Calculation"!

For me, Currently need 1 minute for SQL search and user don't want to waste more time to wait, I use "Calculation" as most report are simply layout and easy calculate the number of totalpage!

^-^; Good Luck and Merry Xmas!!
