yafreax Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 i have a file with 80,000 records. i have a layout in which each record takes up 1 page. I would like to print to file multiple files in sets of 10,000. . . when i print to file a page range message says that it must fall between 1 and 9999 even though it has 80,000 pages in the file. . . is this just a filemaker bug? or is there something i've missed. thanks. jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DykstrL Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 The page number limit is a limitation of the OS, not FileMaker. To print all of your records, select 'Show All Records', then print 'Records being browsed' and print range 'All' - it should print records till your printer runs out of paper or ink - in other words, it will print your records "till the cows come home".

yafreax Posted December 7, 2001 Author Share Posted December 7, 2001 well, that's just it, i don't want to print all records. . . i want to print to file (.ps format) 8 files. . . 1 -10000; 10001-20000; etc. . . what makes you think it's OP system? I believe i've done the same type of thing in word. . . word is just slow and crappy. . . jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slstrother Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 If your records are serial numbered 1 thru 80,000, perform a find on records 1 thru 10,000 then print the records being browsed, then find 10,001 thru 20,000 and print, etc. Then you do not need to specify in the print dialog box.
