thanks

Admin -- this question belongs in the Advanced category.

Tempo,

Once you have the Chapter object name, e.g. Chap04

Code:

var countPages = Chap04.GetNumberChildren()  //returns the number of children that are directly under chapter in the hierarchy (so, number of pages)

You must look in your Organizer Tree within Opus editor/workspace to know what your Chapter names are.

I only gave an example. ("e.g." means 'for example')

You can take a screen shot of your Opus workspace to help us identify the objects you are working with. But, it is fairly straight-forward... use the names you have in your own Pub's Organizer Tree.
