Preview report without be able to print

memula

The task is:
There is a wizard form with several frames based on a single table.
When users start filling the table using this wizard they should be able to make preview of their works using a report. But they restricted to print without finishing the wizard or if there is an errorneus data.

The problem is:
when the report is called with request form there is button called "Print..."
Of course users can try to print it but they shouldn't be if there is an empty fields or incorrect data.

May be somebody knows how to disable the "Print..." buttom or another way to make a preview?

I am not sure:but are you talking about a report?
In this case : it is not possible to hide the print-button.
But in the "OnPreReport"-trigger, you can validate the fields and give an error. Problem though is that the report-form closes in case of error.

Hello Memula !

maybe you can use the sendkey function in your solution:

If WizardFormControl=TRUE then //your form is ok
//allow printing:
REPORT.RUNMODAL(your report,true,false,rec)
else
//Preview only:
(look at this topic:
