Dear All,

I have a field comment ( set it with 5 lines of text)

when I enter data more than 5 lines ( 10 lines) . How can I print all 10 lines since on screen it appears only 5 lines of text?

Thanks

You'll need a seperate layout for printing. This can then have its own setup for fields, where you can either increase the are for the text or shrink the font size.

But how can each comment will associate with each record with other layout?

like

record number 1 : field (prono), field comment (from other layout) ..can it print like that?

Or it print all the record from field Prono and

all the record from field Comment?

Thanks

CAn it print in one paper ...since I will have two layout?

Thanks

You need to script the print process, and ensure the users cannot bypass the scropt to print (use passwords to limit menu commands).

Allow User Abort [off]

Freeze Window

Go to Layout [print layout]

Print []

Go to Layout [original layout]

The "print layout" is a copy of the layout you already have except the fields are big enough to fit and display all the text you're likely to put in them. The fields use the Sliding/Printing options to shrink them up when printed to remove unnecessary white space and save paper.

A layout can be up to 10 pages long per record, so you can be quite generous with the space you allow for individual fields.

Generally, layouts optimised for screen (data entry) don't print well, while layouts optimised for paper (printing) don't work too good on screen.
