I have a layout that I'm using container fields in a portal to store pictures (actually a reference to a picture) but sometimes I have 3 or 4 and maby as many as 10 pages, my problem is that when I only have a few pages like 2 or 3, when I print it wants to print all 10 pages ( as that is how big the table is) I would like to have a script or some way of printing only pages with filled container fields. And not the empty pages. Right now I have to physically look and count how many pages to print. Which is ok until I forget to look and just hit print and I get all 10 pages. I dont need 6 or 7 pages of empty container fields. Anyone know how I can fix this?

How is your database structured, do you have one container per record, one repeating container per record or multiple containers per record?

Its a portal so it has unlimited containers.

I would create a layout based upon the table that has the containers with one container per page. Then create a script that goes like this:

GoToLayout(above layout)

SetErrorCapture(On) -- this will avoid a no find error being seen by the user

EnterFindMode, no pause

SetField ( ID, get ( scriptparameter ) ) -- where ID is some unique identifier of the records in this table

Perform find

if ( get ( foundcount > 0 ) -- just a test to make sure something is found

print records

end if

Now create a button on the layout that displays the picture records in a portal, call the above script passing the parameter of the ID that identifes the records in that portal. This will print all the records. You could also create a similar script/button that can be placed in the portal and print only one record
