Printing

[KirstyB]

I currently have a db with 2000 clients in it on one lay out I have the option of senidng a standard letter to the GP so when you click GP letter sent - yes it runs a srcipt which should go to the GP standard letter and print it the return to te original layout. unfortunately i think I have missed someting as when I do this it prints the standard letter for all 2000 clients....not what I want can anyone tell me what i'v missed out.

Maybe this is what you need:

If you use print with dialog in your script (the option "print without dialog" in the print script step is not selected...) the print window will appear and you can go to "Filemaker Pro" in the pop up menu ("Copies & Pages"). There you select "Current record". Do the print and then go into your script and add the scriptstep "Page setup" before the "Print" scriptstep.

The next time you use the button it should only print the one letter. And now you can turn on the "Print without dialog" in the script - if you want.

Thank you not only did that solve the original problem but you also managed to teach me how to stop the dialog box popping up. So you solved two problems in one go for me!

You're welcome.

I'm searching the internet for answers for a printing problem myself, and on my way I found this article which I thought you might like aswell:

It's what I said - with more words - but it adds scriptsteps for multiplatform...
