Hello

I want to put in a report bookmark (in the body), the totalpagecount, but, where, the report say me :
this function cannot to be use because it must to be evaluate at other time.

But, i must put it at this position in my report.

For this, i've make a variable with incrementation +1, but when i put this resul in my formula, always the problem.


Do you have a solution please ?

Thanks

not really understanding your issue / question.
totalpagecount is a standard special field. Where are you placing it that it is not functioning.
If it is in a formula what is that formula?

you cannot combine two different types of data (text and numeric) like that.
You want to display this is a string so you would have to convert the numeric field to a text field.
{TABLE.DELIVERY}+":"+totext(Totalpagecount,0,"")
The ,0"") indicates for it to display no decimals and to not use any seperator

where are you placing the formula?
is it in a sub report?

you cannot group on it
groups are created first, which in turn effects the total number of pages, hence it is evaluated later.
don't group on it, just display it in the group header

if it is just for display you can display it in the group header, you just cannot group on it.
