Hi Robert,

What I think you're missing is TO PROMPT Try:
REPORT FORM FRX\RECHNUNG TO PROMPT NOCONSOLE
pnNumberOfPages = _PAGENO

This will work. But it will create a text file 'prompt.txt' You will have to dispose of this afterword.

This will get rid of it
IF FILE('prompt.txt')
DELETE FILE prompt.txt
ENDIF
