Prevent Controls from Printing

Is there a way to show controls when users are filling in a form but hiding
them when printed? I have click boxes on a form which determine when a
section is included or not but the boxes print.

The easiest way will be to create a print view. You can do this at design
time, by creating a new view, then using View Properties in each view that
should use the view without "view controls" when printing.

For the truly adventurous, you could also create your own CSS styles, and
set the controls to have an @media print style of display:none. I only
mention this in case someone really wants to try it - using a print view is
far, far easier.

Thanks,
Brian
