Resetting the page number on break event

rbuser

I have a report with 3-4 sub reports and want to reset the page number
being displayed on the first page back to 1 when the say parcel number
changes. This way on a new parcel, the master section will always
say page number one and sub report 2 will say page number 2 and so
on. The thing I cannot figure out is, subreport 2 could have say 2
pages and the same with the others, so I could not find a way to use
the calc tab and count the number of pages myself instead of trying to
reset the page number variable itself. Any ideas as to how I could do
this?

You can determine when a new page is printing by using the
Report.OnStartPage event, which fires once for each page. Use a TppVariable
and its OnCalc event to code the page increment. If you have a group for
parcel number, you can reset the variable on a group by accessing its Timing
dialog and setting the group to break on. If you have a simple master
detail with no groups, then just reset the variable's value when the new
master begins printing by using the main report's Detailband.BeforeGenerate
event.
