Hello Focal POint,

I've searched the forum s and I can't find an answer to this question so here it goes.

I'm building a PDF Compound report and I need the first page of the report to start with Page 2. When I put the 'ibi-page-number' in a string object on my Master Page(ie...Header), it starts with Page 1 and then the overflow page is Page 2. I just need the first page to be Page 2 and any additional pages to be Page 3, Page 4, etc.

Here is the line of code I'm currently using:

PAGELAYOUT=ALL,$
COMPONENT='S_PAGE_HEADER', POSITION=(.90 .58), DIMENSION=(2.75 .55),$
     OBJECT=BOX,POSITION=(.50 .50),DIMENSION=(7.5 .6),$
     OBJECT=STRING,POSITION=(2.75 .70), TEXT='SUPPLEMENT TO THE BILL OF LADING',SIZE=14,FONT=ARIAL,STYLE=BOLD,$
     OBJECT=STRING,POSITION=(.55 .70), TEXT='Date: ',SIZE=10,FONT=ARIAL,STYLE=BOLD,$
     OBJECT=STRING,POSITION=(7.25 .70), TEXT='Page: ',SIZE=10,FONT=ARIAL,STYLE=BOLD,$
     OBJECT=STRING,POSITION=(7.75 .70), TEXT='<ibi-page-number/>',SIZE=9,FONT=ARIAL,$
  


Is it possible to do something like 'SET FOCFIRSTPAGE' but for the
 <ibi-page-number/> 
page number. I don't think FOCFIRSTPAGE will work in a coordinated compound report with overflow, from what I've found on Focal Point.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
