Page X of Y

Can somebody please help how to print the Total Number of Pages on a report.

Not that easy Marco

Navision generates the page numbers as it prints it does no pre proccesing.

If you know the number of lines in the body section for the first page and then the second page you could use the record COUNT.

IE: if there are 15 Body Lines and 50 records, with the same Sections on all Pages.

OnPreDateItem()
LinesPerPage:=15;
NoOfPages:=ROUND(Rec.Count/LinesPerPage,1,'>');

Footer,Header or Transaction Section Page Field
SourceExpression=STRSUBSTNO('Page %1 of %2',PAGENO,NoOfPages)

If you are not printing the Header on Each Page then
OnPreDateItem()
LinesFirstPage:=15
LinesPerPage:=20;
// 15 or less records
If LinesFirstPage <= Rec.Count then
NoOfPages:=1
else
NoOfPages:=ROUND((Rec.Count-LinesFirstPage) / LinesPerPage,1,'>')+1;

If you have Group Totals or Condotional section you will have to Calculate the NoOfLines in Code using record variables.

Another option is to use an ecxternal reporting package, like Crystal Reports.

unfortunetly, sometimes we have different total lines

there is an item with 1 line (without description 2)

and there is an item with 2 lines (with description)

is there any default function from navision to get total pages?

because i'm using transfooter , so it would be generate automatically to go to the next page
