Printing reports

[Ben Weinberg]

Das:

I’m doing a process similar to what you describe, where there is a pushbutton with a loop that prints records, and a report that has all sorts of calculations in the Record $print.  The calculations there end with Do default, which then goes on to print the record.

Hope this helps.
