Scrolling through pages while in Print Preview?

October 10, 200718 yr

When I create a multi-page report, the only means a user has to read it is to hold down the Control key and either the up arrow (for going backward) or down arrow (for going forward) to move about. (I purposely disabled the Status Area bar so they don't have access to it.

Is there a more elegant way of scrolling through pages? Since I (assume that I) can't have a button available while in Print Preview to create a simple pagination script, my options are limited.

As always, TIA for your help!

Option 1: show the status area for the duration of the preview;

Option 2: http://www.nightwing.com.au/FileMaker/demos7/demo704.html

Well, Comment, as usual your brilliance shines through again. I wish I knew 1% as much as you do when it comes to coding!

If there's a next life, I hope to come back as a skilled FileMaker coder instead of a flight instructor--it would probably be equally rewarding but it would pay a whole lot better.

Thank you!

I think that's the funniest thing I've ever heard... of all the things you could come back as, you would choose to be a FileMaker programmer... roflmao.

What's the difference between a FileMaker Developer and a pizza?

A pizza can feed a family of four.

I aim to amuse. As an aside, I originally wanted to become an astronomer but I couldn't (literally) do the math.

Seriously, though, for those of us who don't have the knack for languages (math, programming, learning a foreign language, etc.), trying to put a database together is both incredibly frustrating and difficult. What I _really_ appreciate from you all is that you don't make us neophytes feel stupid. Many kudos go to you for that alone.

...and yes, there's good money to be had as a database/FileMaker programmer--a lot of businesses out there can use custom-built databases just that they don't know how to go about getting one made or finding competent, affordable help. It takes no convincing of potential customer that software should conform to them and not the other way around.

Okay, I'll step off of my soapbox now.
