>Orphan Foxtools.fll to the rescue (hmm.. maybe). Good point at least we can get a handle to a form. Now all we need is a handle to the printer HDC, marry the two and we have a print form routine.

I've checked the values returned from Foxtools using Spy++ and the values are absolutely correct.

As Gerald mentioned, FPA published a routine to get a printer device context. It would seem that this would be the starting point (with some modification) to actually printing the form.

There's been much discussion about 6.0, and from what I recall, the answer is no. Of course, I don't have the beta yet, so I can't say for absolute certain. However, it would seem that with API calls, even it doesn't, this functionality could be simulated in a class.
