Well it was working....

Hi John,
I wanted to have the possibility to output whatever either on the screen, or on a printer, or as a PDF… So I’ve found out a turnaround that is working fine with version 8.30… I made a small demo program to shoe=w you the mechanism used.
Hope this will help

Hi Adrian, Harry and Jacques
Thanks for your responses and sorry for delay in responding. Just had a couple of days of sick bed but back at it now.
The thing that strikes me about your responses, which I appreciate, is that they all seem to work fine for a single document, but what if I have 100 invoices to print needing to email to 100 different addresses,, or worse, 90 different addresses and 10 paper copies because those 10 don’t have emails.
I need to offer a printer dialogue when I am going to produce a paper copy, but only want to do it once. I can put in an initial pass to determine if I am going to have to produce one or more paper copies. Very frustrating because my method was working but now the non-pdf printer is opening a dialogue box to get a file name even if the PDF setting is FALSE.
Trying one or two options to try to get to the bottom of this.
Regards John

Hi John,

If you set IOTiming=O (meaning 'O'nDemand instead of 'I'mmediate) it won't open the pdf until you really need/use it. Only when you out to it, or use EOF(), EOP(), Line() or Page() it will open the I/O device. Don't know exactly when this setting was introduced. If you have it in your Magic.INI then probably will work. Best regards, Harry Kleinsmit. On Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 07:41 AM, John Dowbiggin wrote:
