on a printed page.

Look into the standard tags. You also have a very useful tag indicating the total number of pages.

Maybe, in the future, we’ll also have a function based on CurrentPageNumber, who knows? :wink:

ric:

at first, this looked like exactly what i needed,
but when i try it (i put it in a label field and put
the label in the footer of the form) it just prints:
%%pagenumber%%

am i doing something wrong?

thanks.

Yep, you have to check the displayTags property. That should help a great deal :D

thanks Marcel;

i haven’t worked with ‘tags’ before - wasn’t sure what i
was doing.

now that i’m printing, can anyone tell me why i’m missing
random data in the printed report?

it’s a pretty simple report (list mode) with a line across the
page for each product, and about 5 fields (dataproviders)
on each line (item name, material cost, labor cost, simple
stuff like that)

all the products look fine on the screen, but when i print,
several fields on many lines are missing (blank).

i gotta have this done by tomorrow nite, and it’s not gonna
make it past the testing dept. like this.

thanks in advance.
(wish me luck)

Hai Robert,

Glad it helped and yes, I wish you luck. Especially since your problem is one I can’t help you with at a distance. I think the only way to debug this is with the solution ‘at hand’. Unfortunately I won’t be able to help you with it before monday…

Hope you find the problem…

Can you send me a sample solution?

i’m afraid our project is very large, with a big mysql database.

i just sent a request for help to your tech support e-mail
address, and included two screen captures to demonstrate
the problem.

is there anything else i can give you that would help?

os-x 10.3
java 1.4.2
servoy build 276

also, as i was typing that last message to you, servoy, which is running
on a different machine, just exited without warning. i had left
the “about box” open for a minute (i opened it to get the version
information for the previous posting), then closed it and went
back to typing the rest of the post, when suddenly servoy exited.

on the console is: “bus error”

I bet you’re on OSX…

I experienced a similar problem with a list view print.

The problem doesn’t seem to occur under Win or Linux.

wonderful.
