continuous pagenumbering over reports

[system]

Hello,

I have a document containing 5 reports.
I want to print the whole document and don’t want to start each report with pagenumber 1.

A solution is to choose this in the print dialog box.
This is not very userfriendly so I would like to control this in each report using the PageNumber() function. I know the name of each report, for example ‘classes’, ‘targets’ etc…, so I’m able to make a variable which contains the number of pages in a report.
I tried to make a variable with function
PageNumber() In Report .
This is not accepted and generates a syntax error.
Is there a function that gives me the reportName?

I tried also PageNumber() In Report ‘Classes’ + PageNumber() In Report
This doesn’t work either because entering the reportname is not accepted.

So my question is:
How can I control in the reports that the pagenumber doesn’t start with 1 at each new report?

Thanks,

Joek Poort

Hi Joek,

The following post may not answer you question directly but I think it will put you in the right direction

Page Number!

I have multiple reports (not tabs in a single report) Now i want to enter custom Page number, Like Report 1 has 4 pages and total pages in 10 reports is 55, now the first report page number should be 1/55, 2/55, 3/55, 4/55 almost all the reports are master detail reports, If i add a cell in the footer the value is unique in all the report, how to over come this problem.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I have read the other post and it would help me fine if all the reports have always the same amount of pages. They don’t!!

The number of pages can vary between 1 and 6 for each report.

So I stil have the same questions as mentioned in the first post.

Please advise,

Joek Poort

Look at this FAQ…just think, you could have answered this all your self if you’d searched…or even just gone straight to the Reporter FAQs…nobody listens to me

Nick,

The solution looks fine and I will use it.
Your comment is not quite correct because I did look in the FAQ-forum and searched with pagenumber which gave me no results.
I did not walk through all the different topics.

Thanks again.
