PrintCount

[Greg Y]

Why does PrintCount always seem to equal 1 even when a
section is printed again (RepeatSection=Yes) on the next
page. I have never worked this out and have had to write
my own section counters ... am i dumb or is there a
reason for this ???

Thanks

Who knows what's going on with it? Just when you think you
understand something about the FormatCount, PrintCount or
Retreat features, you run across a contradiction. In
addition, you need to be very careful about using counter
type variables in report event procedures, if KeepTogether,
CanGrow, etc. causes one or more sections to be redone, your
counter will be off.
