Data report - number of pages

[MangroBongacello]

Hi,

is it possible to determine the number of pages to be printed before using DataReport.PrintReport?

Namely, what I need to do is I need to set the top margin for the first page to some value and top margin for the remaining pages to another value. I was thinking I could first print page 1 (DataReport.PrintReport, rptRangeFromTo, 1, 1), then set the top margin to another value and then print remaining pages (Datareport.PrintReport, rptRangeFromTo, 2, 500). But this only works if the report is > 1 pages long, otherwise in prints the first page on the second PrintReport again, although it says From page 2 (I guess this is a bug). So if I could get the number of pages report will have, I could use different procedures if report is 1 page long and another if report is > 1 pages long.

Any ideas?

Or maybe, does someone have a cmpletely different solution to my TopMargin problem.

Thank you
Mangro

Depending on how you get your recordset, you can get a count of the recordset and divide by the number of records per page

Thanks johnwm for your reply but the problem is that the length of the report does not depend only on record count, users can create custom report footer text that can be one or more lines long so there's not always the same num of records on one page.
