Re: Printing Reports from a Web Solution

Is there a way to have reports print correctly when using a Filemaker

My report prints perfectly when printing from Filemaker Advanced, but when I
move the solution to the Filemaker server and try to print from the web, it
only prints 25 records from the report and doesn't format the header
properly.

Thanks in advance for advice or suggestions.

You can do this with CWP... but not IWP. The only way to achieve what
you are looking for is to figure out which script step equates to the
"Next Set of 25 Records" and drop that button on the page, but that
image will print AND it forces the user to print each page
individually... so that's not a real working solution.

Check out fmwebschool.com... they have a bunch of tools that extend
FMP's web capability.

But unless there's a trick out there I'm not aware of (and I"ve
hunted... believe me... this issue FORCED my company to rebuild an
entire solution in CWP) there's no way to do this like the way you
print webpages normally.

Only other option is to use IWP for VIEWING only and have FM clients
for things like uploading, printing... conditional formatting... etc.

Good luck.
