I just recently had a need to print a list through a portal. I noticed that it only prints the shown part of the list. I was wondering if there was a way to have it print the entire list, similar to how a columnar list/report does. I tried making a columnar list and placing related fields in it, but it only shows the first related record, not the entire list.

Also, I dont want to just extend the length of the portal because the potential for the list to get longer is high.

Thanks in advance for the insight.

I always try to print from the file containing the data. Even Filemaker say that portals aren't meant for printing.

Create a print script in your child file, then have the Print script in your parent file send the find criteria to this script which will then find the appropriate child records, sort, summarise etc then print - then return you to the parent file. This will all be invisible to the user.

Thanks for the reply Russ. I will adjust accordingly.
