How do I make a reports page number start at a specified number? I would
like the reports page numbr to start with the number 5.

Thanks.

Instead of using a text box with the expression =Page, use
the expression =Page + 4. If you want to be prompted for
the starting page number, use:
=Page + [Enter Start Page] -1
 
Thanks. I tried =Page + [Enter Start Page] -1 but I get an error #name? I
do like the idea of being promted.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

I don't see anything wrong and it works in my test (AXP)
using a text box in either the report's page header or
footer section.

Maybe you have something going on that I'm not aware of??
