How to esclude e record to be printed

rbuser

Hello,
I have a dbgrid on a form and I am printing its content using report
builder. I have activated multiselection on the grid and I'd like to print
only the selected records. Can you advice me how to exclude the others
records from the report? Can I tell report builder to not print a record?

thanks in advance

Marco,
I usually add an additional boolean field "Selected"
The user then turns on (or off) the field (check mark) and then
I use this field to select the records for printing.

Yes that's ok Jon. But I don't want to re-execute the query or filter a
table. I just want use the dataset visible at that time and print it. But
also want the user select the record to print.
I want to "remove" the record from the report not the dataset.

Thanks

Well the report could just set the detail band visibility
based upon the 'Selected' field. That would not require
the query to be re-executed. The report would then
navigate all records.

1) You could also a JIT pipeline and traverse the selected records yourself.
2) before printing, get the ID's from the selected records and filter the
dataset then print.

There is a demo in our main reports demo project which prints selected
records from a grid. See demo #112.
