Beware of a gotcha in total # of pages on reports.

I had to give a current / total page count once. I found that different printers have different printable regions and you may find one that is different from the driver you used. In LONG reports >1000 pages you may find a difference of 10 pages + or - on some printers.

The controler has a report with the summary totals on page 1450 out of 1468. There were no more pages and I got my butt chewed on that one.

The users just got tired of waiting for the noconsole run for counting pages that they asked for that to be dropped.

>>1). Some of my reports have variable pages, Which I can't count with report designer control box before running the report. So I want to print the page footer in the shape "Page # 1/30". Presently I have the solution "the first number is avaiable by using _ppage variable but the second variable which contain the total pages in report is not avaiable yet by any available control".
