Subject Re: modal form From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Thu, 20 Aug 2020 02:39:29 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Gaetano, I've been working with the report Akshat, Mervyn and myself have been working on to print without user intervention and in the iteration that Akshat put together he used a different return, but near as I can figure these all work in an overridden method: > repath = _app.userDocumentsPath >  ssindx = rat("Documents\", repath) >  result = stuff(repath, ssindx + 10, len(repath) - ssindx + 10, "") >     //we know the length of the "Documents\" = 10, so now we get >     //the full string size and subtract the current path size >     //just past the Documents\ slash to insert the new filename >  // result = 'd:\examples\plus2019\' >  hardcodefile = result + "ProSheetMiles" + dtos(date())+substr(time(),1,2)+substr(time(),4,2)+".pdf" >  form.outputFileName = hardcodefile >  form.output = 2 >  //super::render() // this works with a simple return at the end >  return super::render()  //TESTSMILES2REPORT::render() // these work To note, originally the form.output and form.outputfilename had the variable r in front, but I had to change it because it errored that r had not been defined, which is something I have to figure out, since form IS variable R, I'm not sure why it's kicking that error, but the method is a being overridden on the form...so it kind of makes sense that it knows who it is (form) but not what (r) is. I think. :) Just an FYI.
