TomDia Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 I am writing a royalty program for a small record company in filmmaker pro 7. I am having a problem printing portals. I have two tables that have different royalty information for the same recording artist. Each table has several different records for each artist depending on how many different types of royalties they get. I have a third table that has a layout for a royalty statement for each artist that has a portal to table number one and a portal to table number two. Each portal line lists a royalty due.

Newbies Adwiz Posted March 23, 2005 Newbies Posted March 23, 2005 I've had the same problem, and it is very annoying. Whenever a portal breaks across more than one page it behaves in unexpected ways. I've had it create up to two blank pages randomly even though it is set to slide up when printing. Even using the scroll bar doesn't avoid the problem because that won't print properly. This whole area is one where the FM people need to reconsider the functionality. It's not very friendly in its current state if you have an unknown number of results.

Ugo DI LUCA Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Please avoid duplicate posts as all it does is bring confusion to both you and any readers here.
Oldsneekers Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 I see two ways to print portal data. One is to create a layout based on the TO in the relationship (printing directly from the TO). This is good for complex lengthy data. The other is to copy the data from the portal rows to a single field (see my post under Layouts forum). This is better for simpler data and is ideal if you want to print the data from different portals on one sheet of paper. "It's never so bad that it couldn't get worse"
