Different last page

rbuser

Hi,

I have to design a report where the last page should contain only a
picture, all other pages should have a PageStyle band attached with
data on it. The pages must be numbered like page n of m. What would be
my best approach to achieve this. I could ofcourse put the last page in
a separate report, and put the total page count on both reports in a
ppLabel after changing the value, but I wonder if there's a neater way

Hi Arno,

To create a page set description (Page n of m), you can simply place a
TppSystemVariable on your report and set it's type to PageSetDesc. This
will automatically change the pass setting of your report to psTwoPass
which is necessary.

By definition a Page Layer (or PageStyle for versions earlier than 14)
will print behind every page of a report. You could manually hide the
page layer for the last page by checking Report.AbsolutePageNo =
Report.AbsolutePageCount.

Finally the easiest way to create a separate last page of the report is
to use a Summary band with the NewPage property set to True.
