read page number or group in report footer

[iccsi]

I have a text box to print in 2 pages and would like to add a page
break by my self.


I just wonder that can I read page number on format or print event?
If I can do then I am able to add a page break when the text box print
in to pages or I can add a dummy group to group them together on the
same page. The text box in the report footer that I am not sure that I
can add a group at report footer.

Your information is great appreciated,

In the Format event of the (Detail?) section, you can read the Page property
of the report, e.g.:
Me.Page

You can also read how far down the page the top of this section will be, as:
Me.Top
The measurement will be in twips, where 1440 twips = 1 inch.

There is a Page Break control in the toolbox. You can add one to your
report, and toggle its Visible property: Visible = True will make a page
break; Visible = False will suppress it.

However, you can't use that technique to put half a text box on one page and
half on the next. The page break control will move the entire section onto
the next page.

If you just want as much of the text as fits on the page and then have the
rest on the next page, just set the section's Keep Together property to No.
