Gets the number of the current page.
Syntax
Page ( )
Return value
Long. Returns the number of the current page.
Calculating the page count
The vertical size of the paper less the top and bottom margins is used to calculate the page count. When the print orientation is landscape, the vertical size of the paper is the shorter dimension. If the DataWindow object is not set to print preview, then the size of the control determines the page number.
When Page() is in the header, it uses the first row currently visible on the page to determine the page number. When it is in the footer, it uses the last row currently visible. Therefore, it is possible for the values to be different.
Examples
This expression returns the number of the current page:
Page()
In the DataWindow object's footer band, this expression for a computed field displays a string showing the current page number and the total number of pages in the report. The result has the format Page n of total:
'Page ' + Page() + ' of ' + PageCount()
