Printing forms using printer driver (need landscape/portrait)

Author	Message
Charles Wo #1 / 2	Printing forms using printer driver (need landscape/portrait) How can I print a form to the printer object using the printed driver? Right now I know of Printform, but this seems to bypass the printer driver and just send the entire bitmap of the form directly to the printer. I need to use the driver coz I'm trying to implement landscape/portrait mode, as well as print quality. Using the printer common dialog isn't suitable since my form layout is very complex and includes graphics; I can't recreate it using printline and statements like that. If there's any way to send a bitmap of the entire form contents to the printer while retaining lanscape/portrait and quality options, please reply. Thanks!

You can then call the screen you would expect to see with your printer set up with the command CommonDialog1.ShowPrinter or you could change various things from within the program without the users knowledge with code like: CommonDialog1.Copies = 1 `etc etc Andy Paul THE BHEALTHY GYM at http://homepages/enterprise.net/bhealthy Fitness Instructor Shareware can be found at the above site
