Hi Macropod - I didn't fail to implement it out of sloth... I just don't understand how to do so. I've looked at your demo .dot document dozens of times...

"Put the table into the page header..." <--- What table?
"Split the table so the number to be updated is in a cell of it's own..." <--- Again, what table?


"...put the field code in that cell." <--- Within your demo, where is the field code?

I apologize for my amateurism here and do greatly appreciate your help.
