Description of the issue

In order to print labels and envelopes I have created different layouts with buttons whose function is to print the current layout and record. In setting up the button I go through the settings process. The problem is that all buttons on all layouts seem to all use the same print setup. The implication is that since the dialog is for this particular button then the setup should be for this button and only this button.

Thank you for your post.

Besides the Print Setup and Print script steps, what other steps are executing when a button is activated?

It is a simple button that simply use the print record selection. It does not seem to matter whether it executes with or without interaction. The setup occurs when the button is edited and not when the button is executed.

Best,

Create a script that performs Page Setup and Print script steps. Execute the script to make sure it prints properly. Then, change the button to execute the script. Does this work?
