How to set the Print button in a Form to call a Report.

Hi,

I'm a newcomer to Navision, now, I have a problem in Navision 4.0 as below:

As kenw that Purchase Order Form has a Print button, if click the button, the Form will call the Purchase Order Report to print it. In this way, I created a new Form and a new Report , add a Print button on the Form, but I don't know how to set the button to all the Report?

Any help appreciated!

Right click on the original button & look at the C/AL Code onPush() Control.

or the runobject property...it's more clear for a plain run of the report.
but you should study manuals before start developing...

Thank you all very much!

To idiot:

I right click the Print button, but the C/AL Code is not available, is it mean no license to support?

To Belias:

I am reading the manual: 8359B DEVELOPMENT I − C/SIDE INTRODUCTION TRAINING, is it more helpful? and, I wonder if you could recommend some better books.

Best regards.

Ok for the manual: in the "Designing Reports" chapter, you'll find a lot of info about your problem.
About c/al code: it's a license problem, try with the property, but in order to develop, you need a developer license

oh, wait...are you in design mode? (object designer, click design while selecting your form)

I can't suggest you other books, because i only read MOCs in order to get certifications...for the rest, i am learning day by day while working.
but you can go to general chat section in mibuso, there's a topic about books there

Yes, I am in design mode

, now, I solved it by your method, thank you very much.

And, there is a new problem: the Request Form cannot get the Order's No. automatically, does it need to add the C/AL codes in Report? I read the codes of several Reports, just like "Purchase Order", "Return Order", etc., but I'm not so sure.

On push what's your code??
is it something like this?

RESET;
PurchHeader.SETRANGE("Document Type","Document Type");
PurchHeader.SETRANGE("No.","No.");
REPORT.RUNMODAL("your report#",TRUE,FALSE,PurchHeader);

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I did not find the OnPush in Report's C/AL code, is it Print button's C/AL code in the Form? But I haven't the license.

Did you just want to change the report that prints out? what was the need to create a whole new form?

If it's about just the report - have you thought about changing the report selection.

Search tables for "Report*" for me it's 77

It's OK now

, thank you all for your replies.
