I know that there is a way to do it, by pre-running the report to file, taking the _pageno value at the end, then re-running the report to the printer. But it seems like every day or two, there is someone here asking how to do it.

I would think that if the VFP team were to create an internal process to do this, it would be faster, and more efficient. I dunno. There is already a wish list item, so I'll drop it. Thanks anyways, Mike!!!
