Page number reseting

Are there any plans in RS 2005 to have greater control over page numbers with
regard to group breaks?
For example, if we have a multi-page report for each group with page numbers
"page x of y" in the page footer, we would like the page number reset on each
group break so that group 1 may have 3 pages (page 1 of 3, page 2 of 3, page
3 of 3) and group b may have 2 pages, (page 1 of 2, page 2 of 2), etc...

It is not fully achieve what you are looking for - but at least it provides
you a way to reset the page numbers.

etc. is under consideration for inclusion in a future release. It won't be
available in the upcoming SQL Server 2005 release.

I am trying to do the same thing. Can you post a reply with a link to the
thread with the code you are referring below, I can't seem to find it?
"I was able to get it to work with custom code shared in
another posting."
Thanks.
