Initial page number attribution

rbuser

Hi, When printing a report, I would like to number first report page NOT
as 1, but with some other value (of course, next report pages would get
page numbers based on this initial value).
How can I do it?
Thanks.

Hi,

Instead of using a TppSystemVariable, try placing a TppVariable where you
would like the page number to be. Then set the value of the variable based
on the Report.PageNo value. For instance, if you wanted your report to
start on page 7, you could do the following...

procedure TForm1.ppFooterBand1BeforePrint(Sender: TObject);
begin
ppVariable1.Value := ppReport1.PageNo + 6;
end;

Thank you, I implemented following this track and it promises to be a
good solution.
Since I will put a TppVariable in place of TppSystemVariable, I want to
give to the user the possibilitie to choose the format between:
Page n
or
Page n of t
(n=page number, t= total page number)
If the user chooses first format, the report should traverse the data
only once, but traverse twice is necessary in case of second format.
So, to accomplish this goal, I've tried to set PassSetting property with
these lines of code:
ppReportRaz.PassSetting := psOnePass;
if (StrToInt(Editrel_page.Text) > 1) then
ppReportRazao.PassSetting := psTwoPass;
Unfortunately, I got these error messages:
Undeclared identifier: 'psOnePass'
Undeclared identifier: 'psTwoPass'
What should I do?

Hi Roberto,

You need to add ppTypes to your uses clause.
