Not hiding printing when hiding for readers

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I’ve run into this before (many times). On a Notes Form setting the hide switches for open/preview for reading, the hide for Print switch automatically gets turned on AND you cannot turn it off. I have a legitimate need for this (using an embedded view which does not print well at all due to the loss of formatting) and was wondering if anyone had come up with a solution to this problem.

Essentially, I need to hide a computed-for-display field except for printing.

thanks in advance

Subject: Not hiding printing when hiding for readers

If it is printing from the UI, then I have got round it using script.

I create a form with just the things I want to print, get hold of the document from the UI, change its form, call print and then change the form back.

Its a bit clunky, but notes is all about workarounds!
