Reference Page Number

I have a paginated report which includes 2 sub reports. Is anyway to reference page number any where inside report other than report header and footer?

No, I'm pretty sure that you can only reference the global pagenumber variables in the header and footer.

 

The problem is that the page breaks in the body of the report are dynamic and can even vary depending on the output. eg. if you export to Excel the page breaks may come out slightly differently to export to PDF or viewing the report online.
