print is different from preview

[hpw]

In my contact db I have a report layout. To put together the set to be printed I create the wanted set, then I go to the report layout preview and it shows the found set as a list. perfect. but when I print this report, it prints the list layout with only one single record on it and a list with only one record is quite a short list....

What do I have to do? Thanks for any help!

See #6 here?

I actually found the solution under "Records not printing" in Help. The option "print current record" was set as default. Can I maybe set this options as a script step for each layout differently?

For printing a list it's more obvious to print the whole set of records.

When in form view layout mode it would be more convenient to have "print current record" as a default.

Even better would be a dialog window asking these options each time when printing. (I'm on a Mac now, maybe in Windows this last option is default?)

thanks

This option (and others) can be stored as part of the Print[] script step. You can also leave it to the user by either displaying the 'native' print dialog, or by having several versions of Print[] stored within a script, and choosing between them according to user's response to a custom dialog.
