How to add page number to text in footer, using word automation from VC++, MFC??

I use this code to add a page number to a header / footer - the variable "range" is the result of calling HeaderFooter::GetRange() as you do in your code.

        Fields fields(range.GetFields());
        COleVariant varType((long)wdFieldPage);
        COleVariant varEmpty(DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR);
        fields.Add(range, &varType, &varEmpty, &varEmpty);

All the best

martyn,

I can get the date or time or page number seperately...but the question was how to get both on the same line in the footer? Say, the date at the left side and pagge number in middle ?

martyn,

I'm having lots of headaches on this thing.:( As you can probably deduct from the questions you are helping me on, I'm attempting to get a header with logo on FIRST PAGE only, and a footer with date and page number . Sounds easy..:) hahaha... well, here is all my code...it includes the creation of the objects, and the table, and filling the table from my VC++ app. That all worked well before I got into this header/footer business.! Is there an order in which I should do things..? Like can I put the code for the headers and fotters right before inserting empty lines on first page to leave room for logo, and then creating table and filling it ? When I do this all compiles, but I get a run error when it gets to the inserting my lines with the InsertBreak loop...

And the range.Collapse(wdCollapseEnd) gives me a runtime error...I I leave it out, I get the InsertBreak error...can you shed some light ? I might be getting closer, but seems worse...Thanks!
Hers is all my code so far:
