Printing Problems with IWP

[EJay]

I'm sure you all have discussed this issue, but forgive me as I cannot find anything on this subject.

I recently purchased FileMaker 8.0 (it's upgraded to 8.0v3). I'm almost complete with my database and I decided to test it over the web (using Instant Web Publishing). The problem is that a few of my layouts extend over several pages -- this is necessary, but when I look at my database in IE7's Print Preview, it only shows the first page with the horizontal and vertical scroll bars. Have I done something wrong, or will I have to recreate the database to use only single page layouts?

Thank you for your help!!

There are various things that IWP doesn't do well, and printing is one of them.

The printing "engine" in FMP only exists in the FMP application. of course when using a web browser to connect to IWP you are at the mercy of the web browser.

You won't be able to get summary values either, or anything that relies upon sorting within a filemaker layout.

The print preview is not the printing function that is pat of FMP and to give you more of a clue of the FM functions that aren't web compatible go into script maker, create a new script, and check the "Indicate web compatiblity" flag - the unsupported script steps are greyed out.

So basically what you're saying is that I cannot count on the IWP feature if I want to print my database.

Which means that Filemaker wasn't 100% truthful prior to my purchase of the product (Yes, you can connect up to 5 users on one license using our IWP feature.) and now I'll have to purchase 4 additional licenses so my users can edit, and print the database. What a mess . . .
