I've created a simple client listing from the Customer table in the order entry.
All working well and fairly straight forward.

How do I add, the page number ( other than undo if I delete it ).

I can't see anywhere where it or the field Print Date can be added or edited ?
( The don't have the edit option like calculated fields )

Also how will data location work. A lot of my programs select a data source when first run ( originally from Starzen magazine ). In Crystal I can 'Set report_data_path to sDataPath', so just wondering how this will work here ?
Ignore this - I went and read the notes :)

Hi Dave,
open your report in design-mode, from Menu View open Field Explorer. Check under "Special Fields". Find pagenumber (N of M etc). Also find other useful fields. as record-number, Print Date & Time, etc.

PS Once in the report, edit the date/time by right-mouse click it -> Format Field.
