How to make textbox Invisible when viewed on screen but visible when printed?

I have a couple reports that have parameters on them. Problem is when the report is printed, the parameters are not displayed.

To solve this, I have added the selected values to the header section of the report in a text box. I now want to find away to hide these values when the report is being viewed on screen but visible when printed. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Does anybody have any suggestions on this or a workaround. I want the user to be able to know the parameters they selected when they print the report.

Thanks

Hello,

You could have another parameter called "Show Parameters" (defaulted to False), then set the visibility of your textbox based on this value. Of course, your users would have to check that box to show them before they printed/exported.

Hope this helps.

How to make hiding the parameter row as default?

When I ran the report from the browser (not from the preview when designing the report), the parameters and the View Report button still displayed. I noticed clicking a double arrow button can hide or show the parameter section . How can I make hiding the parameter section as default? Currently showing the section is the default.

Thanks.

At the end of the URL, just set the paramaters to false, like so:

What is with the smiley face? It should be Parameters=false, not arameters=false...

Set the parameter to false can only hide the value of the parameter. I want to hide the who section that shows all parameter names and values, and also the Preview Report button.

Thanks.

I figured it out and wanted to share. In the Report Parameters dialog, check the Hidden checkbox for all parameters. The whole section will be hidden as default.
