>Hi Scott,

> Yes you are right however imagine everyday trying to print around 25000 pages and on monthly pages 100000 on laser or deskjet is expensive. We have crystal reports giving the same report on desket however in India people still prefer line printers and dos printouts as it is cheap. So I was wondering is there any other language which still supports the same, since microsoft decided to do away with visual foxpro.

Well, of course, all the older (and current) versions of VFP.
And then for out of date languages (that still work). . .
FPD does the same thing.
dBASE-V works but doesn't integrate well with printers
Clipper, I suppose, but that would be even worse than dBASE-V
FWIW, why bother looking at another language if VFP is doing the job? Also, I can't imagine laser printing being that much more expensive than dot matrix but suppose it may be. Last time I had high volume printing like that we were using 1200 LPM printers that were located in a computer room - not something you could put in an office, that's for sure.
