>>Rob, summary page prints once for whole report. If you want to trace changes of some field, you must use report grouping and use Group Footer/Header Band to print old/new value. You can still print number of groups on summary band using two possible ways:

You will see them when add a group. To get 'On Entry/On Exit' double-click on any report band bar.
