This report cannot be printed from print preview

jaustin

I have a report that users run from the Print Preview button. Once the report is review, they would like to use the File - Print option (from the menu bar) to actually print the report. They receive an error "This report cannot be printed from print preview". Can any tell me what would cause this error?

Thanks,
Jim

of course, the problem is CurrReport.PREVIEW. If you will search Mibuso for that, you will see why... ;-)

If you have images in your report, Navision will not print from Preview.

The problem occors if you have put an error message when the CurrReport.PREVIEW is true. Try to set the debugger on to let it stop at the point where the error is thrown.

Once you use CurrReport.PREVIEW anywhere in the code of a report you can not print it from preview anymore.

To reproduce:
Pick a report that can be printed from preview
Add IF CurrReport.PREVIEW THEN; to OnInitReport()
Now you can't print it from preview anymore
