[quote ]I If you are trying to duplicate a process you did in Q&A, could you tell us what you were doing in Q&A? [/quote]
File, Print, enter file name, Print Records, F10 all, Print Field Labels: Yes
That will print the whole form, including Label Entries, to either the
printer or a ascii file.
Quote: I'm not sure what you mean by "form of a result set".
Select and retrieve a group of records from the database, then "print" the Field Labels and field entries for all fields for all of those forms, one form after another, all in one ascii file.
Quote:Part of your problem may be that you are in a graphical (GUI) environment now. The elements drawn on your screen are not text characters as they were in Q&A. Simply printing the form is a matter of clicking Print Form. Getting a GUI screen dump to translate itself into a plain text file is a different story. You are dealing with pixels, not ASCII characters. You also appear to need to push the output through Wordperfect. Perhaps if you explained what the actual end result needs to be, we could help?
I understand the difference between a set of pixels and an ascii character, but a displayed webpage is a "graphical environment", yet you can select the text and copy it (regardless of its Font attributes). Isn't that part of the reason for the ODBC specs? To be able to move info from one GUI ap to another?
My end result is to get my Form and its data (as nearly as possible as it is displayed on my database screen) to Wordperfect. I then do a little editing for some alignment and word wrap to make it visually appealing. Bold the Field Names and add several graphics at changing points on the page depending on the length of various field contents. Since the placement is visual, the graphics have to be added manually.
Sorry for my frustrated rantings. Thanks for helping me find a solution to my questions.
