As we all know, HTML sizes the form to fit one page when you print it.  My form contains alot of info on it and I need it to print on more than one page so that it is legible.

So, I set up a Print Record button on my form with programming so that users can get away from the menu feature under Record Commands|Printing.

I tried to use the NewPage feature in the programming to see if it would split the form into 8 1/2 x 11 but that didn't work.  It still shrinks everything into one page.

Programming as follows:

var vRun as Int


//prints current record

If @update Then
{
     vRun = @SelectTreeItem("Search Update Menu!Navigation!Save Record")

     vRun = @SelectTreeItem("Search Update Menu!Record Commands!Printing Commands!Print Form")
}

If @add Then
{
     vRun = @SelectTreeItem("Add Data Menu!Navigation!Save Record")

     vRun = @SelectTreeItem("Add Data Menu!Record Commands!Printing Commands!Print Form")
}

vRun = ""


NewPage(850, 1100)


Any suggestions would be helpful.  Maybe I mis-understood this NewPage feature.

Thanks,

Thanks for the info.  I had a feeling I was using NewPage incorrectly.

HTML - I was thinking reports for some reason.

I will work on incorporating print string, print box to see if I can get it to print on multiple pages.

I notice that with tabs on a form, it will print just the info displayed which is nice.

Also, I am registered for the upcoming programming course at the start of June. Is there a further confirmation to be sent out by your office ?

Thanks,

Louis
