    Reports & CF notes

    by Vince » Fri Jun 23, 2006 8:48 am

    Vers 7.3
    I'm creating a report for a cardfile.
    There are some records that have rather extensive notes. I would like to print the notes at the bottom of the report, and for them to roll onto another page if the text is too large to fit onto the first.
    ReadNote() is not suitable for this I beleive, as it returns a single lump of text. Previously it was possible to print notes so that each line would be seen as a repeating field (I beleive) which would allow the required behaviour.
    I'm realy at a loss as to how to achieve the result I'm after.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA

    Unfortunately it is not possible to roll text across multiple pages (as would happen using a word processing program) inside the CAPITAL form design tool. If you wanted to do it using Visual Builder (rather than transfer the data to your word processor), then the only practical way might be to copy the text data into a database file and then create a report that reads the contents of this file. But this would not be a trivial thing to set-up.
