Hi,

Since there is no system variable to determine the column number you may do the following:

Add these functions to your program:

Function InitColumnNumber
    If Type( "m._ColumnNo") = "U"
        Public _ColumnNo
    EndIf
    _ColumnNo = 1
EndFunc

Function IncreaseColumnNumber
    _ColumnNo = m._ColumnNo + 1
EndFunc

Add the following expressions in report designer:
- On Entry expression for Page Header: InitColumnNumber()
- On Exit expression for Column Footer: IncreaseColumnNumber()

Now you may use _ColumnNo variable that will contain the current column number. But, there is one restriction, this will work only if you use column-by-column Print Order.

Hope this helps.
