How do I get the Side B disc information to print on a report?

Currently I have a report that prints a field that looks like this: Main Feature (W/S); Changer 3 slot 12.  This is the disc description, location and slot #.  However, I can't figure out how to capture the new Side B disc information to print on my report in a similar fashion.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Select your report but click Edit. Then select the content tab and select the disc information field. (the report I was playing with the field is called DVDDiscs1 and is in the lower half of my notes field display box.

In the left pane, the properties of that field will be displayed.



Near the bottom of the list is a property called Num to Show. Use a value large enough to get all of the disc info you want. If you only ever want to display 2 discs that value would be 2, but for TV sets you might want to use a higher value.

You might have to resize the field to show all of the information also, depending on its current size, and Word Wrap set to true will wrap the text in a box that is not wide enough to display all info on a single line. There is also a property for Divider, in my example I've used " / "

I don't have a changer, but I threw location/slot info into a 24 proflie to see what I get. Note I used the Location prefix of " Ch:" and Slot prefix of " Slot:" note the space before the text to prevent running together with the previous data field. Here's a pic:



Hope that helps.

Kevin,

That captures the disc description for multiples discs.  However, what I'm trying to print is the side B information.  For example if side A is widescreen and Side B is bonus materials - I would like to print the description as  "A: Main Feature; B: Bonus materials; changer 3 slot 12".  When "Show Description" is set to True the field that the information is taken from is the Side A Description.  (Rather that the disc description field which combines both A and B side descriptions.)  The increased "num to show" field will include more discs but not the side B description.

Currently, when I print a report it takes the side A description (in this case Main Feature) but then I have no way of knowing - based on the report - that there are bonus materials on side B.

I hope this makes sense.  The only thing I can think of for now would be to include the disc B info with the disc A info in the disc A description field (locally only of course).  I really don't want to do that though. 

I appreciate the response.  I wish that would have been the answer.

Kathy,

Sorry, I read your post wrong. You are correct, the program does not report the B side info.

I think this calls for a feature request.
