i think you can compare $V{PAGE_NUMBER} $V{PAGE_COUNT} ,and i think a field is ok,no need to use two. you can use this : $V{PAGE_NUMBER}.intValue() == $V{PAGE_COUNT}.intValue ? "End of report" : "continue page" in the text Field's Text Field Expression . by the way, in my office PC,i have not the ireport ,but if you have not resolve,i can do this this night when i go home.
