Creating a button in Report

[ximistar]

Hi Guys,

I am having some problem with creating buttons in Reports.

I am trying to create a button after each column (please refer to attached Image)

When ever I click on Design > Button. It creates 7 buttons automatically (as I have 7 fields I assume) But when I go to delete one it deletes all of them so is there a way for it to only create one button?

Regards,

Steven.

You are adding a button to the repeating details section - you currently have 7 records so you are adding one button and it is being displayed 7 times...

Hi Minty,

Thanks for your reply. Okay, so how would I create an individual button then?

Thanks.

I'm not sure why you would want a button on a report, but you can put a single button on the report header or footer area or page header / footer and it will only appear as often as that section does.

I basically want, a button next to each field which generates a automatic email template for outlook for that particular fields email address.

I guess there's no way to do it, thanks for your help.

When you say field do you mean record? That's what your .jpg appears to be describing.

And are you trying to generate an email to the address in the specific record ?

If so you want to create a form not a report.

Hi Minty,

Yeah I wanted a button on each record as that button will transfer the user to an Email template for that chosen company.

But it is okay I have just added them in the footer for now.

Thanks.
