>The FoxPro report writer is a one pass reporting tool, and unfortunately, there's no sure fire way (as you've found) to accurately determine how many pages a report will contain. This also causes the page layout to not always be exactly the way that you'd like. The upside is that report generation is generally faster than with a two pass reporting tool.

crystal reports does. foxfire (as far as i can tell) doesn't.
