How to get ( Page of Pages) in Reports

Nune

Dear Friends,
I am generating a report. How to get page numbers as we used to get in MS-Word like ( Page of Pages).
Suppose the total report is of 10 pages then on 1st page it should display 1 of 10 and so on....

You have function PAGENO used as SourceExpresion for TextField as: CurrReport.PAGENO.

How to get total number of pages before report is complete I don't know. I think it's impossible.

Didn't try but as of now i have got a temporary solution.
1. Add a global varialble LastPage
2. At the bottom of the report (footer) add a textbox with Source expression Currreport.PAGENO + ' of ' + LastPage
3. add the LastPage to the requestform.
4. Run the report and note the last page number
5. Run the report and key in the last page number in LastPage field.

hope thsi helps for now....
