how to show Layout name on Layout?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #488 of 534 |
Hi group, a small question...
 
Our FMPro8 database has 30 or so report Layouts, some of which differ in only small ways. I'd like to have the name of each Layout (not the internal FMP Layout ID #) print out on each, in tiny font in some inconspicuous corner. That way it'd be clear, looking at the report printout, which Layout generated it.
 
Does that layout name exist internally as something I can refer to in a field, or will I have to make a text box  and type the name of each Layout one at a time into each Layout? (and hope anyone who renames the Layout remembers to change that bit of text too!). If you think I'm too lazy to do that 30 times over, you'd be right ;)
 
Thanks for any suggestions...
 
Anita

... I can so relate to this! You can use the Get function: Get(LayoutName). Make sure you go into "storage options" and mark it as *unstored*, so that if you...

Hi Anita, My initial instinct was to say: use Get ( LayoutName ), but I wasn't sure if that works in FM8. So I downloaded the PDF, and indeed, that function...
