Smartforms pages prob

Former Member — Fri, 17 Feb 2006 11:42:10 GMT

Hi,

I have two pages on my smartform. Page1 with a header and a template, Page2 only with a text element.

In the page1 I have page2 as nextpage and after the template the command Go To New Page to Page2.

In the page2 the Nextpage is page1.

In the print preview the form appears with 3 pages. The first and second looks fine but it's printing the header (of the first page) in a third page.

What am I doing wrong?

(beginner...)

Thanks in advance.

Since the next page of Page2 is Page1, the order of creation of the pages would be:

Page1-Page2-Page1-Page2...

If you want to display the header in the first page alone give the CONDITIONS for the header as AT FIRST PAGE. Check this check box to display header at the first page alone...

Check whether you have content in it...

Did you have a main window defined in PAGE1

I don't have a third page defined on the smartform and it shouldn't appears on the preview.

In the page1 I have a main window, in the page2 I have a secondary window with a text in it.

Are you displaying smartforms using a standard report program with data passed from the report...

No, i'm executing the function module of the smartform directly. I haven't made the calling report yet...

Anyway, it should appear on the print preview, shoudn't it?

Hi,

It will work fine if you give the Go to new page as '%page1'.

I still have a problem.

Page1 - contains a header and a main window with a template

Next Page - %Page2

after the template I defined a command with 'Go To New Page - %Page1'

Page2 - contains a secondary window with a text

Next Page - %Page1

Result in the preview:

2 pages - first page OK, second page blank. Page2 doesn't appears.

Help...

Ok, you didn't understand.

I have only Page1 and Page2 defined on my smartform but there is a third blank page in the print preview I don't know from where it comes...

Hi Sonia,

I misunderstood your question earlier. If you don't have third page then just ignore mu previous post.

Ok Do the following :

At page2 ---> set the page attributes as follows

Select Page2~~> General attributes~~> Define next page as "PAGE2".

I made it but I can't activate the smartform. The error 'A page without a main window cannot point to itself as next page' appears.

In this Page2 there is a window (secondary) with a text. If I change this window to 'M Main Window' the print preview crashes... I think it's because there can't be two main windows (I still have one main window on page1).
