How can I show my page numbers in a form without using the recordbuttons.

Is there a special command

I know this command, but i only works in a "report" and not in a "form"

"Pagina " & Page & " van " & Pages

Greetings wout quispel

re: form and pagenumbers


A form requiring page numbers almost certainly means a less-than-optimum
user interface design. Take a look at your implementation -- you should be
able to limit forms to a single page, with links to other forms, or
subforms, or tab controls, or other approaches.

That will be far more effective, in the long run, than figuring out how to
show a page number. If, on the other hand, you mean that you want to update
a page number for each record the user scrolls through, that is also not
likely a useful interface design -- unless that "page number" is included in
a field in the record itself, in which case, it would be no difficulty at
all to display it.

Could you clarify what you are trying to accomplish, in some detail? If we
can understand that, it is likely that someone can make useful suggestions.
