Hi Dragan,

I have changed the "on exit" of the location group footer to call a proc in a prg that is available. In the proc I have one line of code. _pageno = 0. When I run it I get an error "Expression evaluated to an illegal value".

>>I have an frx with 5 data groupings. Data groupings 1 and 2 have the option selected that starts on a new page. Data grouping 1 has the option selected to reset the page numbers.

>>The problem is that data grouping 2 also resets the pages even thought I don't have it checked.

>>IOW, grouping 1 = store location, grouping 2 = categories. Everytime the category changes I want it to start on a new page but not reset the _pageno. But once we switch to a new store location I want it to begin on a new page and start with Page 1 again.

>>Everything starts on a new page correctly..its just that my page# is always 1.

nPages=nPages+_pageno

>(yes, a one-liner), and call that function on exit in category group. Instead of _pageno, print nPages+_pageno. That's it.
