Page numbers on report

[fdc]

Creating reports grouped by 'customer'. Page numbers to reset as customer changes. Most reports average 3 pages per customer.
On the FIRST report only consisting of 3 pages, everything is correct except the page numbers are 1, 1, 2.
All other reports are correct.
Have tried several variations of the group id, but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Using VFP 5.0

Have you applied Service Pack 3? I believe there was a problem with the original release.

The VFP 5.0 SP3 patches are part of the Visual Studio 97 SP3. It available at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/updates/sp/vs97/download.aspx.

If you only need it for VFP, then just get the CORE set of files (4 for a total of ~39.5 MB).

Possible work-around: You could pre-determine the page number programmatically and save it to a field according to the customer in the same table as the customer. On the report, rather than use the _pageno command, use the field name for the page number instead.

Are you using the _pageno system variable or one of your own?
If it's one of your own, you should be able to set it to reset after the group changes by using the Calculations dialog.
