I have used the FoxPro report writer for many years and finally I have a need to force a page eject if certain conditions apply. Is there a way to use the on entry/exit routines for the detail band to force a page eject?
Yes / No - Without knowing what the conditions are it will be hard to answer your question. <br><br>Have you tried the unique index trick for the header band idea yet ?<br>or <br>Creating a independent IDX to control the print functions.?<br>or <br>Creating a seperate (on the fly) table to control the report form and setting a relation from the main table into that seperate table and doing a header band on the seperate table when the conditions match?<br>or<br>I had to do special printing functions for a DOS client some time back and what I did was to create a database of printers the client had. From the printers manual for each type of printer I entered all the excape codes with the functions I needed. Before printing the report I asked the user what printer they had (Windows should be able to tell us that now) and did a search in the printer table for it. If the printer was not found I did not print the report. When I needed the special printer codes in the report I made a call to the printer table field for that function.<br>or<br>When all else fails there is the old brute force method. Create a table with all the information you need to print the report and using that table to print the report. (queries get to long when you have several databases to pull info from) <br><br><br>Will one of these ideas work for you ????<br> <p>David W.
