>>Hello All!
>>
>>Our system creates a report title page for every report that the user runs. This title page shows the selection/search criteria that was used to query for the report.
>>
>>The issue: reports can be initiated from four (4) separate places in the system: report manager (normal), a specific user form, from multiple search forms and from a report scheduling process.
>>
>>The one that is really causing me some issues is the search form option.
>>
>>There are 12 search forms in the system. Each search form has different search criteria on it.
>>
>>The problem is that a single report can then be run based on a variety of 12 different sets of search criteria.
>>
>>Putting all those fields in the Title Page band and controlling them with Print When clause is not a preferred solution.
>>
>>The REAL problem is the fields would all have to be overlaid in order to fit all the different criteria sets into an 8 1/2 by 11 inch window, which is a VFP restriction. Maintaining this every time we make a change to a search form would be a nightmare!
>>
>>Any ideas on how I can handle this one?
>>
>>TIA!

Hi Namoi!

Our users are dumber than dirt when it comes to computer systems, etc. Returning a where clause would only cause them anxiety and pain and light up our support phone lines! Good approach you have there, but it won't work for our circumstances.

Thanks for your input!
