Hello all,
I'm in the process of designing a report that will function much like an invoice. When printing the invoices I may have to output about 100-1000 at a time. Because the nature of the data dictates it the report has many text boxes that I'm using as unbound fields. Essentially I have to populate the various text boxes through VB.NET on the fly.
I can do this easily enough and send the report to the printer. However this means that I will be sending 100-1000 individual print-jobs. Ideally I would like to send one multi-page print job.
So I'm looking some sort of multi-page object that can be accessed with VB.NET (there was such an object in 8.5 but I've not found it in 9). Does anyone have a suggestion? I realize the ideal way of handling this would be to redesign the report and allow Crystal to build the multi-pages as it normally does but that's not an option at this time.
Thanks,
Oli
