Printing remote reports from WC?

[ErnieG]

I'm hosting a FM 5.5 database published to the Web (IWP) from a G4 with a static IP. Generally things are OK, but the client wants more functionality--like printing reports. I should be able to make that work with a layout in "table view" in the browser, except that the browser shows no vertical scroll bar and prints only ONE PAGE even if there are more records listed.

Is this a limitation of Instant Web Publishing, or of the browser? (I'm testing with IE 4.5.) Anyone know of a workaround that doesn't require me to learn HTML?

One other glitch: If the client does a search for a set of records, then edits and "submits" one of those records, the found set is lost. Clicking "next" just takes you to the next record in the overall database. Is there a solution to this problem?

Thank you all.

This is a limitation of IWP. IWP is not made with functionality at the top of the priority chain. You can always go to Custom Web Publishing but that will require some knowledge of HTML. However, the CDML Reference Tool is a GREAT Help!

One of my clients had that same problem so I created a demmo solution for them to look at that used the same look & feel as their website. I showed them that most of the FileMakers Functionality can be put into a web browser along with things that FMP can't do. Now I just got the job of creating their entire platform via the web.

CWP is well worth the time it takes to learn HTML.

As far as your other glitch goes, the same answer applies.

Hope this helps!
