leonard Posted December 4, 2000 Posted December 4, 2000 I would like to avoid a printing accident such as the users printing all of the records in the db because they forgot to input print limits. Creating a default with the number 1 being inserted in the Print dialog box From: & To: fields seems to be the approach. Can this be scripted? If not, options please. Thanks. L.
LiveOak Posted December 5, 2000 Posted December 5, 2000 Sounds like the hard way to me. How about a printing script in FM that checks to see how many records are in the found set, then either aborts if there are too many or gives the user a message asking if they are sure they want to print this large of a report. Scripting can also check to make sure the find critera is completely filled out before allowing a find to be performed. -bd
leonard Posted December 5, 2000 Author Posted December 5, 2000 Good suggestions. There will be times when printing reports that are one page to twenty-five will be legitimate. Printing the large number of input sheets, comprised of a full 8.5x11 sheet for each record, would not be good. The script I've written so far allows, via the message box, to tab & type a page number in the From:/To: fields & then print or the option is to print without dialog. I believe I can adapt your "found set" approach. I will try this out...next week. I was just consripted to help out elsewhere. When I do get to try this, I will let you know how it turned out. Thanks LiveOak. L.
