Can I have 2 different sets of page numbers?

[Kimagine]

I have a fairly simple report. Car Dealers, grouped by dealer, new page after each group.

What I would like to do is have "Dealer Page X of X" for each dealer on one corner of the page and "Report Page X of X" for the entire report in another corner. While the report is printing, we need the total page count for quality control purposes; the dealer page counts will help in report distribution.

I tried the "reset page after" in the group footer but then I can't get a page count for the entire report.

Thanks!

You can create a formula to count the number of pages like:

@TotalPageCount

NumberVar PageCounter := PageCounter+1;
"Page "&totext(PageCounter,0,"&quot

and place in the page footer.

But I don't know how you would show total number of pages as you would be restting the TotalPageCount field.

Can you live with just Page x for the Report page?

As far as I know, Crystal recognises only the one page count.

What I'd suggest is that you create your own count and call it 'page count' on your report. Maybe a numeric variable that is updated by one by every page footer.

What I've ended up doing is the PageCounter like you suggested and have that in the Page Footer, and I left the Page N of M in the group footer, resetting after each group.

So I have "Dealer Page X of X" and "Manuscript Page X"

Close enough!! Thanks!!
