Cecil,

Here's a stab. It uses a macro that Wolfgang wrote on getting the line count to automatically populate the page. However, there's one caveat, I could not start the table at the beginning of the page, I had to put a ".\par" in first. Other than that, it works.

\setupcolors[state=start]

\showframe

\def\TEntry#1#2#3#4#5#6{

\bTR

\bTD #1 \eTD

\bTD #2 \eTD

\bTD #3 \eTD

\bTD #4 \eTD

\bTD #5 \eTD

\bTD #6 \eTD

\eTR

}

\setupTABLE[c][each][align=middle,height=\lineheight]

\setupTABLE[r][1][background=color,backgroundcolor=darkyellow]

\setupTABLE[c][each][width=0.12\textwidth]

\setupTABLE[c][3,4][width=0.18\textwidth]

\starttext

.\par

\startalignment[middle]

\dontleavehmode

\bTABLE

\bTR

\bTD Verwerkt \eTD

\bTD Datum \eTD

\bTD Km-stand \eTD

\bTD Kilometers \eTD

\bTD c/l \eTD

\bTD Liter \eTD

\getnoflines{\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal-3\lineheight\relax}%

\dorecurse{\noflines}{\TEntry{}{}{}{}{}{}}
