Paul,

Why are you trying to reset _pageno to zero? According to your original question, _pageno is already being reset to zero too often.

Dragan's idea is to increment (in a function) another variable, called nPages.

Instead of printing _pageno at the bottom of each page, you can put _pageNo+npages in the expression.

His idea should work...

>The reason I was getting the error is because _pageno must be between 1 and 32,xxx.
>
>I cannot for the life of me get this to work. I set the value of _pageno to 1 and then I check it in the debugger and it is set to 1 however, the report still prints page 3. I have tried to send _pageno as a parameter by reference. It doesn't like the "@" in front of "_pageno". I've tried everything I can think of here.

>>>Here's a cheezy and dirty trick, but might work. Create a report variable nPages, set it to zero, calculate nothing. Write a function, name it, p.e. StoreNPages.prg:

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.

>>>Or if you are having the oposite problem, that the _pageno is not resetting, and you need it reset, this can work as well, even simpler. Forget the report variable, and just have a function which will set _pageno=0 each time your group exits.
