Version 8.5 - Button Object for Report Generation

[#1]

Greetings everyone!

I need to link a report I created in an App to a button object, in order to print it (user's demand).

I'm aware that version 10 make it in the easiest way, but a new version of QV is out of question here...

Can any one help?

Thx in advance!

Fairly straightforward - you need to create a VBS macro - e.g.:

Sub PrintReport()

ActiveDocument.PrintReportEx "RP01"

End Sub

You can call the macro from a button.

Stephen, thank you for answering!

I did as you say, and when I click the button, the EDIT MODULE screen comes up... any other detail to make the button open the report print popup?

Thanx again!!!

Just to clarify, I want the button to bring the PRINT popup, for the user to choose between printing it inpaper, or generating a PDF printer. Is it possible?

READ "generating PDF Printer" as "generating PDF file".

Try ActiveDocument.PrintReport "RP01", "", True - should show the dialog. Note this will only work for "thick" clients. Web clients will just get the report generated as PDF and then opened on their local machine.
