Print Page - Prompt on Page 2 takes user back to page 1

Title: Prompt on Page 2 takes user back to page 1

hi,

I have a 2 page report which is run in HTML.

Page 1 has some prompts which filter the whole report.

Page 2 has also got a prompt which only affects the data on Page 2. This all works correctly but annoyingly, when the page 2 prompt is used, the report runs and shows page 1 again, can you set the prompt to stay on Page 2?

You would need to enable conditional rendering of the first page based on a value being set in the parameter of the prompt on the second page. Messy, but probably doable.

Use the technique for rendering pages outlined in this post:

Thanks MF. I decided to use similar principle of single page with conditional blocks as nobody wanted both pages at the same time.

Cheers
