How to set a "page # of #" counter in a report in Visual FoxPro (276501)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0a
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 6.0
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 7.0
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8.0
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 Professional Edition
This article was previously published under Q276501 SUMMARY PageOf.exe contains a sample Visual FoxPro report that sets
a "page # of #" counter. To generate the counter, the report dynamically
calculates how many lines are used on the detail line to accommodate the
fields. The records on the table are divided by the amount of detail lines and
then used to generate the counter.
Note This method works in Visual FoxPro 9.0 Professional Edition. However, you can also use Visual Fox Pro 9.0 Report Listener to do the same task.MORE INFORMATIONThe

To use the sample, perform the following steps:
- Download and save files.
- Start Visual FoxPro.
- From the Command window type:
REPORT FORM PAGEOF PREVIEW - Note the "Page 1 of 11" page footer. To see how the sample
works, drag the detail down to expand the detail area; this causes fewer
records per page and thereby increases the number of pages. You can also expand
the header and footer sections of the report, and it automatically performs the
calculations.
The core of the calculations are contained in two report
variables called nLineCount and nLineCalc. The report also uses the Init event of the cursor in the Data Environment to save how many
records are in the table. You need to adjust the code according to whether or
not your table is going to hold deleted records. Here are two code samples that
illustrate these two scenarios:
*!* Init Event Code to exclude deleted records.
Public nRecNo
SET DELETED ON
COUNT ALL FOR !DELETED() TO nRecNo
-or-
*!* Init Event Code for all records.
nRecNo = RECCOUNT()
This sample has limited functionality, and does not function correctly
with data grouping or memo fields that stretch with overflow. Data grouping and
memo fields that stretch with overflow cause an inconsistent detail line
length, thereby affecting the calculations. Microsoft provides programming examples
