export power...

[SMcNaughton]

I need a way to export more data fields than the ones just in one visible band line... can I bury fields in a line at the same level (say record), then use a property to determine whether the line prints or not... ie, if the output is FILE, then the data prints completely, including extra RECORD lines for the RECORD level. If printing somewhere else (like printer or screen), those record lines will not print.____Feasible?? ____Anyone else have any ideas on this?____Thanks..____-Steve

Not sure if you have solved this. ____Might not suit you but on the odd occassion I^ve wanted to do something similar I^ve just changed the foreground colour of the font of the field I dont want coming out on screen to the same as the background colour (usually white)____That way the fields always print but they are only visible in the exported file. Saves on flags etc.

Another approach is to place the extra data fields beyond the right margin. They will not print, but will export.
