:banghead: I have asked this question in other forums, but the answers received from several MVP's are not getting it! I have looked for a solution to my problem for several days and my eyes are crossed from all the reading!
THE SCENARIO: I have a protected form template that, upon opening, contains only 2 pages.
Page 1 is a Summary which will grow into multiple pages, followed by a Report page which will grow into multiple pages.
The Summary pages are numbered Summary Page 1 of X. (I know, I know, numpages problemos) The Report pages will be numbered Page 1 of X (Again same ole, same ole!)
There are 2 section breaks on the first page.
(Section 1) a Section Break - Continuous, to create the protected section at the top for form fields and another, below, (Section 2) a Section Break - Next Page, to create an unprotected section for the user as well as the first page of the Report section. The Header/footer on this page is: First Page Header - Section 1 and First Page Footer - Section 1.
When a page is created between pages 1 and 2 (by oversetting), it is (Section 2) and that "new" page has as its Header/footer: Header - Section 2 and Footer - Section 2. The header/footer verbiage is the same as on the first page header/footer.
The second (original) page (section 3) The Header/footer on this page is: First Page Header - Section 3 and First Page Footer - Section 3. The header/footer verbiage is different from page 1 and any pages created off page 1 (sections 1 and 2).
I have read thru numerous threads to "bookmark the last page in the document" BUT - There ARE NO LAST PAGES in the document as they are yet to be! For the user, only first pages! :banghead: I am using SectionPages for the section 2 and section 3 header/footers and they are working just fine. The problem is the first page. Even though there are 2 section breaks physically on the page, the footer for this page, is and always will be, section 1 though overall the total number of pages is encompassed by all pages in section 2 as well as the first page.
:dunno Is there a way to modify, other than thru bookmarks, numpages or sectionpages to have the code account for the number of pages created in section 2 and reflect it on page 1? Like numpages + sectionpages s2 or something?????
Can someone please help as I'm stumped and really, really need to get this document out of my hands and into my users hands. Best regards
