**AskPage, PROC, VIRTUAL, PROTECTED**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **AskPage **method prompts the end user for a specific report page to display and returns a value indicating whether a new page is selected. A return value of one (1) indicates a new page is selected and a screen redraw is required; a return value of zero (0) indicates a new page is not selected and a screen redraw is not required.

**Implementation:**

The PrintPreviewClass.Display method calls the AskPage method. The AskPage method displays a dialog that prompts for a specific report page.

**Return Data Type:     **BYTE
