Having seen the recent thread about the 'Page x of y' issue I am after a solution to a similar problem. I have a report that lists individuals with various details against them. There may be 3+ pages for each individual. I have set up a group against the individuals (i.e. Person ID) and am allowing the report to be 'drilled-down' so that a preview panel opens up with only the details for that selected individual. Is there any way that I can have this 'Page x of y' appear ONLY when I have drilled-down the report to the individuals level ?
I'm guessing I'm looking at something like setting the object visibility for this Special Field ('PageNofM') to only show when I am in drill-down mode ...
Hope someone can point me in the right direction with this one ....

You might be able to trap an event in your VB code if you are using the V8 RDC.
Within the report environment there is no condition for "onDrillDown".

How are you launching the report? Ken Hamady

Ken,
The report is being set up through Delphi code (pointing tables to the appropriate connected database and setting parameters according to user selection). Ideally I'm looking at this facility within the report object itself rather than set through code - am I headed down a dead-end ?

Nothing I know of within the report environment allows you to test for being in Drill-down. I am not even sure you could do it in code, but it might be possible. Ken Hamady
