I think he was asking do I have any of the page number reset options set at the group level. I actually added the _pageno as a diagnostic tool whilst attempting to wrestle this beast into submission.

Frank, You say dropping the _Pageno results in both pages as page 1.... how do you know they are page 1 without printing _pageno?
Just an observation as I have also spent many, many happy hours (not) battling with the report writer... 😊

Certainly a possibility, Frank. I will check that. The odd part is there are no more detail rows at the point where I was getting the extra page. I eventually got this to a point where the extra page was suppressed, and the page number incremented properly, which was the object of the exercise. I still see the group header on a new page even after the last detail row prints but I need to let it sit for a bit before seeing if I can improve it more. Hours spent with the report writer can be a draining experience... 😊

A possible explanation for page 1 on both pages: do you have a grouping set to restart the page number when the group breaks?
Frank.

OK. Here's my conundrum of the day.
I've got an invoice report. There are multiple group bands and multiple potential multi-line objects, and periodically I get just the right combination of text that I appear to get a 2 page report that should fit on one page. In the process of trying to figure out why this is happening, I've tried every trick I can think of including Cathy Putney's stretching of bands with dummy objects at the bottom of the bands, etc. No joy. I keep getting 2 pages. Then I dropped in the _pageno object in the header and my 2 pages are both appearing as page number 1... This has to be a clue but I figure it is time to call on the wisdom of the ProFox crowd as this one is driving me nuts.
