I have a database that has a number of records, and when I print one of them, I would like to go into preview mode and print the record I am viewing.

Now when I go into preview mode, it lists all of the records I am currently browsing, and I need to find the one I want to print.

What is the best way to script a find that goes to the current record I am working on when I enter preview mode? I want to eliminate the manual search. This may sound confusing, but it seems like it would be a simple thing.

Is the important thing to Print only the current record or is the important thing to preview the current record? The solutions could be different.

Assuming that the current record has a unique identifier, pseudocode:

Set variable [$recordID; RecordID]

new window

enter find mode

set field [RecordID; $recordID]

Perform Find

Set error capture on

enter preview mode

Print[]

Close window

Bruce,

Thanks, that seems to work out. I was almost there but couldn't quite figure out the set variable function. Your answer clarified it for me and also showed me I was on the right track.

Thanks again.

I would recommend an easier approach:

New Window []

Show All Records

Omit Record

Show Omitted Only

Enter Preview Mode [Pause]

Close Window [current window]
