I have a real problem with using substack as a printing stack. First of all, I
am using Rev 5.5.5. This is the first time I am using a print stack in one of
my projects. I usually use the print card command.
The print stack is a substack of my app stack and has only one card, which
receives data from my app stack. I am also using a splash app to launch to my
app stack.
I have some fields that are grouped and are used on several cards. The grouped
fields are placed on several cards of my app stack. When I use a substack to
print one of my card of my app stack on Windows XP, I found if the user prints
or cancels printing, the last field in the group field loses data in the field.
In my case, the field is Field “school”. I have examined all of my scripts and
stack settings. I still find what is causing this problem. I also set the
format to printing for my print stack. Here is my script:
if the platform is "macos"
then
set the printPaperOrientation to "portrait"
set the printmargins to 36,108,36,72
set the printScale to .82351
open printing with dialog as sheet
if the result = "cancel" then exit to top
lock screen
open invisible stack "printReferral"
print stack "printReferral"
close printing
go to card "referral" of stack “School Report"
unlock screen
end if
if the platform is "win32"
then
answer printer
set the printPaperOrientation to "portrait"
set the printmargins to 36,108,36,72
set the printScale to .8235
open printing
if the result = "cancel" then exit to top
set the formatforprinting of this stack to true
lock screen
open invisible stack "printReferral"
print stack "printReferral"
close printing
go to card "referral" of stack "School Report"
unlock screen
end if
Anybody have any suggestions?
