    Printing multiple copies from a card file

    by Rob » Thu Feb 08, 2007 4:51 pm

    Is it possible that when I press Print from in a card file I can make the system ask me how many copies of the record I want to print? This is for printing labels based on the records I've got in my card file. THanks.

    1. Go to the Screen Builder and open your card file
    2. Select File|Screen Script from the menu
    3. At the very top of the text Insert this line:

    If ( Mode = 5 ) Goto Print

    4. Move to the bottom of the file and add these lines:

    Code: Select all

    Return

    :Print
    Declare cScript Type Character

    FormCreate()
    FormAdd("No. of copies to print:", 1, "99")
    If FormShow("Print", "Print", "Cancel")
       cScript := "Declare StartRecord Type Numeric" + CHR(13) + CHR(10)
       cScript := cScript + "StartRecord := " + NTrim(XXX->(RECNO()))
       CreatePrintJob("XXX", cScript, FormResult(1))
       OpenVisualBuilder()
    Endif
    Return FALSE


    5. Save your changes.

    ***Where you see XXX in the above script, change this to the name of your card file.
