Statistics Report PDF. Storage Count and Resetting?

I have read through alot of the dmis "Help Files" and have searched for quite awhile on the forum for this question and have not found it yet. I believe Mr. Hoademan explained this at one time, but It's been awhile and I can't seem to find the posting which pertains to my question. At the end of all my programs , I have the VB code which produces a "Yes or No" question prompt asking the operator if he or she would like to print a report or not. They "Click" yes or no depending their needs. However, a PDF. file of the report is stored in my computer for auditing purposes and so forth. My questions is: when the databse reaches 999, it will not produce stored copies of the reports anymor. It seems to just overwrite the last file. How do you "Reset" the storage memory back to zero, so it can start all over again. I do not understand why wilcox set this limit to 999, but its a real pain. The only way I have found (which I know is not really the correct way) is the place a dash or space in the "Part Name" , change the stats count to 1 and go to the bottom whee the VB command is and change those values to "0". This works, but its not the correct way.
If someone could explain how to do this correctly, I would really appreciate it. As always, I appreciate the help.

    1) Chally, I was not trying to imply that you were wrong or trying to be disrespectful by any means. I am a very easy going person to deal with. I was just trying to indicate what I am tring to do and what I do for traceability. Datapage "Does" store all the records that any auditor would what to see, and then some. I was merely trying to get an answer on how to reset the PDF. file counter , which stores the actual reports. No harm or offense my friend. I always appreciate all and any help to make things easier for me and anyone who may read this post, who might be asking the same question. I have and will never be disrespectful to anyone on this forum. There are too many people on this forum which have helped me from my days of learning how to just do an alignment to the more sophisticated knowledge I now have from thier help. So, please do not take any offense, as there was none taken or issued.
    2) Erik: I will try your suggestion tomorrow. I was shown this once before, but I'll be darned if I can remember it or find it in my files I have printed from all my requests through the forum.

    Thanks to all that are helping. I appreciate the responses. I have worked the last 102 days straight for the facility without missing a day this year, so its time to take a vacation until the new year (Burned out). I will be in the shop tomorrow and try to see if this method is the answer to my original question.
    Thanks again all. Please have a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
