Greetings!

We have a subcontract form that we use at the office. The info is entered in an entry screen, then when Print Subcontract is selected, it prints out the contract. This form is 8 pages in length, with it being huge text boxes with fields inserted where they need to be. Is there a cleaner,(different) way to do this that you all have an opinion on? We are migrating everything over to 8, and I got to this file. Thanks.

Not sure exactly what you are doing from the discription.

You should have separate screen form(s) and printing contract.

In the printing contract, you can put in all of the information from the screen forms using merge fields if you wish, then it will flow with the balance of the text.

Note that the print version in preview can also be used to preview before printing the contract.

The printing script could go to the print layout, enter preview mode and show status bar then pause. When the user presses contiue, it would then ask if they wish to print or not.

If you want to bind them to the scxript, use a user abort off, error capture on statement at the beginning of the script.
