How do I put page numbers on a report. I get this error:
The Value expression for the textbox ‘textbox1’ refers to the global variable PageNumber or TotalPages. These global variables can be used only in the page header and page footer. C:\Documents and Settings\john\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\WindowsApplication1\Report1.rdlc
I can't figure out how to create page head or page footers. I tried the table report item and put the page number in the header, but I get the same error.

When you open the report in the designer, to the left of of horizontal ruler (or top of of vertical ruler) you should see a small square box. Click on it, this is a way to select the report object, otherwise by default report body is selected. Well after that click, you will see a small black box appearing inside that box. Now right click on it, and you should see Page Header and Page Footer menus.
Now delete the textboxes that use the global variables from the table in your report and add a text box in page footer (or header) and use those global variables there.
Hope this helps.

Thanks so much, I knew there had to be a simple way.
