Hi Daniel,

What is the reasoning behind wanting to do this? Group page numbers?

I've got a report which contains several sub-reports which should be used seperated.
That's the reason

Daniel,

I don't think there's a way to reset the page number variable in your master page. If you were to have an interval grouping set up within your sub reports, you could probably create custom page numbering in your group footers.

My report requires the page break on each record. Instead of having page numbers 1 - 58, the report must restart page numbers after each record in the main record set. So if there are 20 records and 58 pages the number would be as follows: 1 of 2, 2 of 2, 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3, etc. The business requirements are such that the report can be printed and then manually distributed as needed without confusuing page numbering. This is for BIRT 2.3.2 embedded in an application.
