Cathy, (and anybody else who wishes to expound)
In another thread you advised Winn (who was trying to print a continued... message):

>I came up with a cleaner way to do this when I wrote the new Report Writer book...

>... In the OnExit expression of the Data Group Footer, use _VFP.SetVar('nLines', 0) to clear the lines. Now you can put your "continued" text in the Page Footer band and use "nLines > 0" as the Print When expression.

After reading the VFP help and Hackers Guide, my question is:
Why is the variable nLines not 'directly' accessible, i.e. why are we treating it as a variable in 'another' application?

When you were talking about this in Chicago last week, your comments on this must have passed through the space between my ears.... :-)

Thanks,
