Two action on one SUBMIT click.

[Dave Lagergren]

I have a database application in FP 2003 where I need to submit the results
of a form to the database AND print a copy. Can I do this with one button?
One solution I came up with (but haven't yet implemented) was to have the
program that adds the submission include a PRINT button but it seems unneeded
if it can be accomplished with one key press.

Also, I guess I would need to have the Windows Printer window open so the
user could select a printer.....

You have to provide the user with a print button or instructions for printing, as you can not
automatically print a document/page from a web page on a user computer.

OK. I understand that. But can't I tie two functions (save to database and
print) to one button click?

No, as one would be server-side via ASP and the print function would be client-side JavaScript.

What you can do, is post to the database, then return a custom confirmation page with a print
button.

I was hoping to avoid that but I guess it is my only choice. Thanks for
your help!!
