Change start page number

edited June 2007 in RAP
I need to change the start page number.
I put a TppVariable on a header band and set its Value to
Report.PageNo (actually without any increment to the page number)

Unfortunately, on preview, if i go immediately to the last page, the
page number is still 1, not so if i use a SystemVariable

Another strange thing, on preview i press the next page to browse the
report page-by-page not always the value of the TppVariable is the
same of the preview dialog

    Hi Max,

    Which event are you assigning the value of the TppVariable? Try coding this
    in Delphi first so you can find the correct event and settings to use to
    obtain the proper value, then move your code to RAP. This way you can trace
    the event code and be sure it is firing when the page is changed.

    I would suggest placing he event code in the OnCalc event and setting the
    variable to calculate at the start of each page. Also if your report
    contains groups or subreports, be sure to use the Report.AbsolutePageNo
    property to get the page number for the entire report.

    My report has a group, i found that Report.PageNo and
    Report.AbsolutePageNo is wrong when the detail of a group is more than
    one page
    For example, in my report i have a group that need to print several
    records, some of them are printered on the second page, but PageNo and
    AbsolutePageNo are still 1, while SystemVariable reports 2 on the
    second page

    Hi Max,

    This is not a known issue.

    1. Please upgrade to RB 10.06 and test with that.

    2. If you are still having the same issue, please create a minimal example
    that demonstrates the behavior and send it to support@digital-metaphors.com
    in .zip format and I'll take a look at it for you.
