>I'm writing a report for our accounting dept which has to be used in filling in a wages earned report for the state. The code that generates the data for the report creates a temporary cursor which holds all the detail records. The online report we'll need to fill in needs the data broken down and subtotaled every 23 records though. How can I 1) Get the vfp report engine to force a new page every 23 records, and 2) calculate and include a page subtotal field at the bottom of the page's records instead of at the bottom of the page. Example, last page of report may only have 5 records, but my subtotal calculation shows up at the footer instead of right beneath the last record.

(1) If you are not using an index (ie, you create your report based on the result of a SELECT) you can create a grouping based on INT((RECNO()-1)/23), and tell it to start each new group on a new page.

(2) Put the subtotal in the group footer rather than the page footer.
