Thanks, I was wondering if there was a way to do it inside the report generator, but I guess there isn't.
i wound up just putting a field on the summary line sumcount() which returned blank, and every time it hit it, it added one to the count. In the page page heading I put in suminit() which sets the counter back to zero when a new page header is printed. Thanks for your help. ________________________________ From: Peter Cushing <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 11:10 AM Subject: Re: Counting summary occurances using the Foxpro 2.5 report writer Michael Madigan wrote: > I want to count the number of summary lines in a report. > > I have a report that sums based on acct_id.
