Steve -
Why don't you just create a report that looks just like the screen, and put
a "button" variable on the form? The users can tab to this variable field
and press the F2 key and it will print just like they want it to.
Here's how I did it in an old DOS app.
On the form, create a variable, vPrint = ' PRINT '. I changed the
color to Light Cyan on Magenta,
Place the variable wherever you want - mine is the last field on the screen.
In the customize field settings, change the values of:
Will new data be entered in the field? Yes
Can the user change the data displayed in the field? Yes
Restrict changes to the current table? Yes
Do you want a help line displayed for this field?
'Press F2 to print the Screen'
On the second screen of the field settings, add an EXIT eep on the field -
PrintSc.eep.
--PrintSc.eep - Called from form to print a predefined report from a print
button
IF (LASTKEY(0)) = '[F2]' THEN
SAVEROW
OUTPUT PRINTER
PRINT report WHERE where clause to print the current record
OUTPUT SCREEN
SKIP TO first field on the form
ENDIF
RETURN
My DOS users were very happy with that solution when they changed to Windows
XP.
