Report as Pop up info box

[#1]

Hi,

I have a report that shows me info about an individual and an image etc, but what I want to be able to do is juts click a button and have a window open that shows me this info as opposed to having to print a report.

What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks

Hello,

You can try this:

1. Create a variable named vPrintView

2. Create a Button named 'Preview Report' with Set Variable trigger.

- Use vPrintView under Variable name field

- Value as 1

3. Create a copy of your chart (report) that you want to preview/print on a new sheet tab

4. In the chart properties, go to Layout and select the Conditional option with value as vPrintView=1.

5. Add another button with

- Print Sheet trigger and set the Sheet ID in the properties.

- set variable trigger; set the vPrintView variable to 0.

This will allow you to preview your report before printing it.

Is that what you are looking for?

Thanks for your help Khaled.

tbh I only choose a report because it was an easy way for me to layout the information that was been shown, so in my example

I have different sales agents, the only selection you can make is the agent name, but then wanted some way that could get all the other details of the agent if you clicked a button,

Do you think report was the right choice or is there an easier way?

Thanks
