Calculating Total Pages - Whole Numbers Question

I am stuck on this algorithm and not quite sure how to approach it. My program needs to calculate the number of pages prior to sending it out to the printer. I know that I can use printer.page to get the page number but I need the total pages printed on the cover page. Here is what I have.

The number of records per page is set at 8. So each page contains no more than 8 records. I can get the record count by table1.recordset.recordcount, so I can get the total records. The problem is this.

If I make dTotalPages = table1.recordset.recordcount / 8 and the total records are not divisible by 8 the iTotalPages would contain a fraction if it was a double instead of an integer. So for instance if the record count is 9 then the iTotalPages = 1 So the output would produce 2 pages, 8 on the first page and 1 on the second page. So the dTotalPages should equal 2.

Here is what I have tried.

VB Code:

dim iTotalPages as Integer
dim dTotalRecords as Double
dim X as Double
dim Y as Integer
 
'dTotalRecords = table1.recordset.recordcount 'commented out for testing
dTotalRecords = 9
 
If dTotalRecords < 1 then
    iTotalPages = 1
Else
    iTotalPages = dTotalRecords / 8
    X = val(right(dTotalPages, 4)) 
          if X > 0 then 
             X = 1
          End If
    Y = iTotalPages 'only gets the whole number
    iTotalPages = X + Y
End If

The resulte is still 1 page and should be 2 pages in this test.

try this instead:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim iTotalPages As Integer
 
    iTotalPages = CalcTotalPages(9, 8)
    MsgBox "Total Pages: " & iTotalPages
 
End Sub
 
Public Function CalcTotalPages(iTotalRecords As Integer, iRowsPerPage As Integer)
Dim iTotalPages As Integer
 
    iTotalPages = iTotalRecords / iRowsPerPage
    If iTotalRecords Mod iRowsPerPage > 0 Then
        iTotalPages = iTotalPages + 1
    End If
    CalcTotalPages = iTotalPages
 
End Function

How about...

x = dTotalRecords mod 8

MOD operator returns remainder only:

19 Mod 8 = 3
