>>>>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:

Field change means group change and Group Footer will fire. I urge you to read appropriate chapter from VFP Developer's Guide.
