>>>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:
>>>1. Use 'On Exit' or 'On Entry' procedures to increment variable.
>>>or (it will be more reliable for you)
>>>2. Just calculate 'number of groups' before running the report and store the result in variable again.

Ed - I am still having problems.
What are my steps?
1. put the field's name in the data grouping box. How do I trap when
the field value changes? Where do I store the field's value so I can
print it out in the summary page?
2. Do I put anything in the Grouping Band. I do not want to print anything
there.
I just need to get through this first one, then I will get the idea..
Whould you please e-mail me (rob-at@usa.net) a small sample.
thanks.. :)
