Re: Page Number dynamically resetting, How?

Sean,
ok, try this....

I have an invoicing report I am working on, and in fact it has exactly what you need: namely, page number resets every "x condition". In my case, the invoices are for various labs and may be one or more pages each. This is how I did it, and it turns out, it was simple....

1. I created a field, F_PageNum and placed it in the bottom margin of the layout. Thus:

Layout Model

     Margin
        F_PAGENUM

2. The source for the field is "Page Number"

3. This open up a Field Property in the properties for the F_PAGENUM field of "Page Numbering". Clicking on this brings up a dialog box... The right side list box contains "Reset At...." objects. I simply chose the correct frame which corresponds to the correct reset sequence --- for me, this is every time the lab changes, so I chose my repeating frame R_G_OneInvoice (i.e. the repeating frame which logically represents one complete invoice of many pages for one lab.... or, it repeats every time lab changes.)

Good Luck...
