Help! I'm using fpw2.5 (out of my control to upgrade) to create a report. This report is from 2 related tables & is sorted by a "title". Each different "title" is started on a new page. I need to make a table of contents with the titles & their beginning page numbers. (Title "A" starts on page 1 & ends on page 3, Title "B" starts on page 4 & ends on page 8, etc...) so the TOC would need to be like:<br>A.................................1<br>B.................................4<br>I realize I probably have to use a user defined function to save each new title & its page number, but I have no earthy idea how to accomplish this! I've tried (very poorly) to save it to an array, but I suppose I just don't know what the heck I'm doing, because I can't seem to get it right. I'll get all combinations of wrong info - i.e. correct titles, wrong page numbers...correct titles, no page numbers...no titles, good page numbers. <br>Please help - thank you for any response!

Make sure your report form has some special letters not used any where else in the report like "GROUP TITLE" and "PAGE NUMBER" that identifies the titles and page numbers. <br>Write the report to a text file.<br>open a new text file with fopen() <br>Open the report text file with fopen()<br>in a do while !feof()<br>Look for the special letters for the title and page numbers and build yourself the Table of Contents <br>Print the toc page text file<br>then print the report text file or rerun the report.<br> <p>David W.

DGREWE - I know it's been like 4 1/2 months, but I got stopped doing enhances to the fpw2.5 system and had to redo everything in vfp6. I'm still in the process, but I finally had a chance to implement your suggestion - and wanted to say thank you; it worked great!
