I came across a good KB article on this and tried to use the directions to create a TOC. Somehow, the result is half baked as the table created does not quite list all depts. I was wondering if someone had any experience with this. I am using the following process. I hope I am not missing any step.

Created a table 'Table of Contents with fields Department and Page Number

Added a module with the following;
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
 
Dim db As Database
Dim toctable As Recordset
 
 
Function InitToc()
' Called from the OnOpen property of the report.
' Opens the database and the table for the report.
Dim qd As QueryDef
 
Set db = CurrentDb()
 
' Delete all previous entries in Table of Contents table.
Set qd = db.CreateQueryDef _
("", "Delete * From [Table of Contents]")
 
   qd.Execute
 
   qd.Close
 
   ' Open the table.
   Set toctable = db.OpenRecordset("Table Of Contents", _
DB_OPEN_TABLE)
 
   toctable.Index = "Department"
 
End Function
Code:
Function UpdateToc(tocentry As String, Rpt As Report)
' Call from the OnPrint property of the section containing
' the Table Of Contents Description field. Updates the Table Of
' Contents table.
toctable.Seek "=", tocentry
 
If toctable.NoMatch Then
   toctable.AddNew
   toctable!Department = tocentry
   toctable![page number] = Rpt.Page
   toctable.Update
End If
 
End Function
In the report, created a department header and added following on the On Print event:

=UpdateToc([Department],[Report])

The end result is that I managed to get page numbers for three departments but missed on all the rest.

Will appreciate some help.
