[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] 'open Report' prob in 2.0

walt_waldo_novinger@cup.portal.com (01/01/91)

I'm having trouble making the open report command in HC 2.0 work.  I invoke
the command with "open report template "Foo"" and all appears to go well
until I click the Print button.  I get the Laserwriter print dialog box, click
Print, and *nothing* happens.

Is there a "close report printing" command ot the equivalent?  According to
Goodman's HC 2.0 book, nothing else has to be done.

Thanks for the help!

It works like this:

  open report printing with template "Foo"

  print card 1  -- adds card 1 to the report
  print card 2  -- adds card 2 to the report

  .
  .
  .

  close printing   -- now everything will print
