Portals and printing

[thierry.be]

Hi,

In the previous subjects, I have read that portals aren't always the best things to put on a report, yet i have a report containing 3 portals with 0 to 20 rows.

Now the only thing I want to do is to keep the portals together when I print them.

So if the 3 portals fit on one page. I d like to print them on one page. If not i want the first to be printed on the first page and then the others on the second.

So i want portals not to be cut in half.

Is there a way to do this?

Hope someone can help me,...

Thanks,

Thierry

You can probably use a script to determine the number of items in portal 1 by going to the last portal row and setting a field to the value of that portal row #. If the field is less than or equal to 20, then have the script print the one page layout, if the field is greater than 20, then have the script print the multi-page layout.

i hope this helps.

One way is with print sliding. You can set a portal to not print any unused rows and to shift upwards when printed out.

Its in the "Sliding/Printing..." in the format menu.
