There are a number of ways to loop through the fields:

1. Simple way.

foreach ($record->strvals() as $fieldname=>$fieldvalue){
echo "Name: $fieldname ; Value: $fieldvalue";
}

2. Using the Dataface_Table class, you can get the fields using the fields().
foreach(array_keys($record->_table->fields()) as $fieldname){
// Then you can do any of the methods of accessing the field available.
$record->val($fieldname); // gets the raw value from the field
$record->strval($fieldname); // gets the value as a string (e.g. date fields are stored as arrays normally - so this converts it to a string).
$record->display($fieldname); // Cleans up output to to be displayed on a without html special chars.
$record->htmlValue($fieldname); // Formated for web page.
}

I had this "working" but it was just showing every record, every field, in the whole table when they tried to print. I was trying for something that would take exactly the table from the list_view and show only that, with maybe a couple of added lines of text at the top.

Thanks,

Why not just use the list action instead of your own custom action then?

You can use Stylesheets to customize how the output looks on a printer.
