Re: report printing advice

2002-12-12 Thread Rob Cozens
I must print the group with headers and footers on each page. It's 
probably going to be several pages.

It seems like the best way to go would be to lock the screen and 
copy each field onto a blank card, and then use "print card [from 
topleft to rightbottom] [into pageRect]" and "print break" commands 
to lay out the pages one chunk at a time. Print the headers and 
footers in a similar manner.

This is going to be a problem because I have fields that are side by 
side columns, that are going to cross page boundaries.

Any suggestions?

Hi Alex,

The only thought that comes to mind is to consolidate the report text 
into a single field and use the revPrintText command.  It gives you 
headers, footers, and pagination.

report printing advice

2002-12-11 Thread Alex Rice
Looks like I'm going to have to tackle this in 1.1.1 and not wait for 
the new printing features in 2.0. I've got a scrolling group with about 
20 fields in it. This is a report with several sections, and both right 
aligned columns and left aligned columns. That's why it's not one 
single field.
