Hi,
As I stated in the thread that you linked to, there is no built in way to print multiple tables using a single button at the moment. That is a feature that you would need to create using a custom button.

I didn't have the expertise to create a custom button, so i did a belt and braces solution.
i put both tables within a div, which i called printsection
i used a jquery plugin called printarea https://github.com/RitsC/PrintArea to print out the contents of the div

Nice one - thanks for sharing that with us!

I read about it before but thanks anyways. This doesn't work for me as my table contains paging.
Yup - in that case you would indeed need to create a custom button that uses
buttons.exportData()to get the data from each table and then create a print view.Allan
