I have a form I want to print w/background and have set several command buttons to be invisible when the form is printed. I thought I might put a tabpage in for some extra information but it doesn't need to be printed. It won't disapear like the buttons. Do I have to scrap the tabpage idea?

Thanx

While individual Tab Pages cannot be invisible, it is possible to make SubForms invisible.  So that might open some doors, to have different forms in the database on top of each other on the form and only making one visible at a time.

I have done that using subforms from other databases but not within the same database, so I don't know yet if that works.  Perhaps you will try this and let us all know?  ???

I re-read Ray's response & just HAD to ask what I should call the group of tabs. As you see I was trying to do an individual tabpage.


Var vSuccess as Int


If @visibility(find) = 1
   Then Visibility(find, 0)
If @visibility(tabpage) = 1
   Then Visibility(tabpage, 0)
vSuccess = @SelectTreeItem("Search Update Menu!Record Commands!Printing Commands!Print Form to Default")

If vSuccess = 0 Then
{
WriteLN("The Command Failed")
}

If vSuccess = 1 Then
{
WriteLN("Printing")
}
If @visibility(find) = 0
   Then Visibility(find, 1)
If @visibility(tabpage) = 0
   Then Visibility(tabpage, 1)

(by the way, I copied this somewhere and modified a few things, still really fuzzy on programing)
