Displaying n of y

rbuser

When printing shipping labels, I have to print the same label lets say 3
times, and display 1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3 on each of them respectively.
How can this be accomplished.

Thanks

I created a simple example of this. I set Report.Detail.BandsPerRecord to 3
so that the detail band will print 3 times for each record. I created a
report on the customer data from DBDemos. I added a group on Company and
added 2 TppVariable objects to the detail band. For varCount I set datatype
to Integer and configured it to be reset when the group breaks and set its
Visible property to False. For varPageDescr I used the default data type of
string.

I added the following code to the BeforeGenerate event of the detail band:

var
lsPageDescr: String;
begin
varCount.Value := varCount.Value + 1;
lsPageDescr := 'Copy ' + IntToStr(varCount.Value)+ ' of ' +
IntToStr(Report.Detail.BandsPerRecord);

varPageDescr.AsString := lsPageDescr;
end;
