If your using VFP8 you can use the new SYS(2040) function.

from VFP helpfile

Example
The following example displays how SYS(2040) can be used to suppress the
_PAGETOTAL system variable when the report is in Preview Mode.

"Page: " + TRANS(_PAGENO) + ;
IIF( SYS(2040) = "1", "", " of " + TRANS(_PAGETOTAL))
