Total Number of Pages from Formula
Hi Ken,
I may be misinterpreting this, but I believe that you can't 'pass' the
page number to the report header because it has already been processed by
the time your page number has been calculated. One way to get the page
number into your report header is to save your report with a different file
name and insert that report into your main report as a subreport. Place the
subreport in your report header, suppressing everything but the page count.
What should happen is that your main report will process the report header,
calling the subreport. The subreport will be processed and return the page
count, then your main report will continue processing normally.
