Hi all,

Does anybody know how to force the printer so that if I am in one section it
prints just the current record being browsed and if I am in another section
it prints all the records being browsed.

I have created an FMP 5.0 Invoice DB and I want to print just the current
record when printing the invoice and print all the records being browsed
when printing a 'View as List' report of these invoices.

At the moment, I have it set to print Current Record and when I want to
print a report (or listing) I have to remember to change the printer setup
each time to records being browsed.  Failing to do this results in me
getting 1 line on my report (ie, the current record)  This is tedious and I
am sure there is a way round it on the Mac, but I'm using the PC version and
it's better to get one line on a report than accidentally print every
invoice being browsed.

Does anybody know of a script procedure or something to get round this???

Many thanks.

Regards

Laphan

This setting can be stored with the Print script step.  See "Creating a
script -- storing settings in the database" in the help file.

Specifically, create two scripts... one with "print current record" and one
with "print all records" set, and then for example create a button on each
of the two layouts connected to the appropriate script.
