WD11: How many page in the report?

Hi
Do I have any chance to know who many page are in a report?
Since I want to change an image on the second last page, it would be great to know that in advance.
Thanks for any advice. Stephan

Hello Stephan

Because the reports are dynamically formatted to suit the available data, the nominated printer and the paper size it is impossible to predict the number of pages or where data will appear so you have to run the report once to count the pages and then run it again. The first run should be to a file which you can then discard.
The IpageNum variable holds the number of pages from the first print run and you can store that to a global variable and use it in the second print run.

Hi Al
Thanks a lot. I'll try that!
Kind regards Stephan

Al.

Can you tell me what command to use to print to a file please?

I am not using the report editor to create the report. I am using iPrint in code.

Hello Rich

I have not done any reports using Iprint, but you might have some luck with IDestination() before sending your report.

Perhaps it is possible to send the report to IPreview() where the preview window is either invisible or offscreen.
