Reprint A Report After Exit

rbuser

Users are wanting to be able to reprint a report after they have exited
the report they were working with.

For example, when a printer jams midway through and they exited already
they want to re-generate the same report. In some cases in the
application they aren't able to just re-generate it to print it.

Does RB have this ability somehow or is there a way to accomplish it
'behind the scenes' to give the users the capability?

1. They could generate the report to PDF and then print the PDF. That way
they have a copy.

2. If they are using the Report or ClientReport you could write some code to
generate the report to archive or pdf each time they print to the printer.
Here is an rbWiki article of how to do this..
