How to print all the records without opening each of them

[ashishsmith]

Hello Everybody,

I have created a page which would have summary of each records starting from last week tuesday to this week's tuesday in a table. Each tuesday I have to click on each record and print their hard copy for our meeting. Instead of doing that I want to have a function on a page, which print all the records one by one and they should be on seperate pages. Because some records are 2 pages and some are 3 pages. I don't want them to get mixed because they are sensible material.

If anybody have done this before or something similiar and can help me. I am using Coldfusion and SQL Server Database. Thank you very much.

Look into the style function Page-Break-Before (or -After). You can insert this into the output page after each record (I assume a query that returns all the relevant records), and it should force a page break between the records. The downside is that the individual pages per record will be badly-formatted if they span more than one printed page. But that's always been a "problem" with printing HTML documents.
