I have tried putting the following: chklb(lb_id), in the On Entry and On Exit methods of every band on the report, one at a time, with no success. The closest I came was putting it in the On Exit method of the last group footer on the report. I noticed that the pclb value was the same as the ID on the current page except for those IDs where mulitple pages were present, where the first page had the prior pclb value and subsequent pages had the current pc value, ah success! But then the next page with a new ID had the same pclb value as the previous ID where is should have had the current ID to make the system work.

>Could you explain what you are trying to trap and why. I'm not sure what you are trying to do once you determine the last page of an ID. Do you need to print something on the last page of an ID? Do you need to remember the page number? What is your purpose for 'trapping' the last page of an ID?

I am trying to print an "accumulate" or "insert" code on the pages for use with a mail folding/inserting machine. The last page of a set of pages for a given ID would have the "insert" code, while the other pages of the set would have the "accumulate" code.

The page numbers are irrelevant and I don't need to remember them.

I hope this clarifies the situation.
