LVA Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 I'm using Filemaker pro 5.5 and windows 2000. I work using a network (a server and some client computers). I have a search where there is a detail layout and I need a button to print the current record. I've tried it with a script , but I haven't managed to get print to use current record by default. The script I have has a line with print setup and another one with print. The first one has restore setup options checked and Perform without dialog checked too. I've executed a print with the print option as print the current record, then I opened the script and when I closed it I clicked on replace print setup. I'm not sure if it's possible to have the option print the current record saved to be used as default everytime the script is executed ? Or is there something I have missed ? LVA
cjaeger Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 why not do it in FileMaker? cript: show all -omit current record -show omitted you might want to flag the current found set before
LVA Posted April 30, 2003 Author Posted April 30, 2003 Thanks for your help, I'll explain a little bit more about this file so that you can understand why I won't be able to use your suggestion. IThe file's purpose is to search. It's all about an event that happened and there are many records and some even have documents attached where that all participants can use this file to search for any research they may need. When they search and find for e.g. 10 results. There is a detail layout where they can see more details about a certain record. This detail layout has a print button in case someone wants to print the current record, but at the same time the user will continue looking at the search result. That's why I can't use your suggestion to print otherwise I would get out of the search the user had just done. I need a simpler way to do it. could you think of some other way to do it ? Thanks, LVA
