Adding a variable value to the page footer

My macro generates a numerical variable called iCount. I'm trying to have this show in the footer of each page.

At the end of the current macro this code places the date in the footer :

Can someone suggest a way to also include the value of variable iCount into the footer?

Grateful for any advice.

Hi - Thanks for getting back. It's definitely on the right lines. I amended the code and find it reads the iCount variable as 00707 on each occasion in the footer.

Here is my macro ;

It counts how many times the letter 'bx' appears in the document. It reports this in a message box and adds a footer with the date in it. I'm trying to have the number reported in the message box shown in the footer as well , perhaps right-justified. The variable holding the number is iCount.

If placing it in the footer is problematic , then could iCount be placed on the page itself , perhaps at top right?

I'll add a sample file to run the macro on , so it's a little clearer.

Thanks for your advice.

Many thanks for this solution. It works perfectly. Grateful for your time and expertise.

You're welcome

BTW - I was trying to have the 'date - ' section in the footer aligned left , and the 'items :' section aligned right. I find I can do one thing but not the other. Equally it's getting messy by putting in extra spaces to fill the gaps(!)

Can you suggest a neat way to achieve this?
