Ok Stephen,your code works fine:I just had to skip "TO FILE".
But I have to say that not always _pageno returns the right number of pages.
For example,if you put at the bottom of the detail bar an edit box with "strech with overflow" checked and the edit box needs two pages,the real page number is 2 but _pageno returns only 1.
