Hi,
My name is songe. This is my first post. How are you doing?
I have a question. I'm currently transferring some old hypercard stacks into RunRev. For whatever reason though, the below handler gets to the "open printing" line and then the entire app stops working. If I push the cancel button that appears, the dialog will say "Cancelling" but actually never cancels. I end up having to quit the software and then restaring it to get back to work. Of course, nothing actually gets printed.
When I comment out everything but the revprintfield statement, it will print. I'd rather keep it to the original design though.
Any ideas?

on PRINTSOMETHING reader
put reader into cd fld "printField" of cd 1 of window "Things to Do"
open printing
revPrintField(the name of cd field "printField" of window "Things to Do")
revshowprintdialog false,false
close printing
end printsomething

Songe,

This should be:
Open printing (for dialog) is for printing cards, not for printing fields. Probably, Revolution is more picky at this point than HyperCard.

Best,

Mark

Worked great. Thanks. I didn't know you could just put the revshowprintdialog thing before any print statement.
