I know I've seen this before. You might search the Profox archives for _pagetotal. I seem to recall a problem with runtimes/hotfixes not applied that would cause _pagetotal to misbehave.

The plot thickens. I tweaked my data set so that the one page group at the beginning went away, and I allocated those records to a group in the middle of the data set. That group now runs to 3 pages but the _pagetotal system var still shows 2 so I get the mathematically incorrect Page 3 of 2 for that group. So I'm guessing I can't really do this if I want to rely on _pageno and _pagetotal... (Paging Cathy Poutney... <grin>)

ProFoxers,
I have a report. It has 2 groups and I'm using a page x of y object in the page footer. I want the page numbers to reset on the outer group. I've set the appropriate setting in that group. With the particular data set I am testing with, the first group only has one page worth of data. All the rest of the groups have up to 2 pages of data. However, the x of y object shows 1 of 2 for the first group and I'm expecting 1 of 1. As I continue to poke at this I figured why not throw out an actual VFP question to the collective wisdom.
Happy Friday!
