    The error message [rsPageNumberInBody] clear mentions that you are using the Global Variables in the body of the report layout.

    Can you do something for me real quick

    Right click on the textbox where you have your expression for the page number and total pages. Do you see "Select 'Page Header'" or do you see "Select 'Body'" in the context menu that pops up

    Hello Turkaum,

    First you need to have the Page Header/Footer showing, then you can add items to it. To show it, right click in the pale yellow area of the Layout view. Then select Page Header and/or Page Footer, this will create another section on your report where you can add items. Or, you can go to the Report menu option and enable the Page Header/Footer from there.

    Hope this helps.
