Print Marker

[LWCARAB]

I need a system which will tick all the boxes to corresponding records when I print a report?
The next time I open the report it would only show the unticked boxes which had yet to be printed.

Thanks for your help,

Richard

At first this appears quite a simple process, just print all the records to date, and flag them as printed at the same time.

However you will soon run into a problem with the printer, the records will not print for some reason, no paper, paper jam, and now you will find yourself in a position of having the records Flagged as printed, but they haven't been printed!

So you need some way of defining the set of records you want to print, something that is reproducible so that you can "redo it" if there's a problem, and possibly "undo it" if you change your mind.

Basically when the operator presses the button to print the range of records you have selected, you then ask the question "have the records printed correctly" if the operator answers yes, then you flag the records as printed, not before.

Good Point
It think what I will have to do is, on report open:

Msgbox (Do you want to print? Y/N)
Open print box
Msgbow (Did it print correctly? Y/M)
Mark as printed
