The reason I'm using REPORT FORM is that I can easily select the font I need. I'm assuming that if iI do not save the printer environment, I can use the frx for any printer and it will print that font.

If I set up the font by send codes to the printer as you suggest, then I will have maintain a database of all my client's printers, will I not?

>>>To make a report print as in DOS, I would create a text file and then print the entire file with the command "???", thusly:
>>>
>>>

>>>lcPrinterSetupCodes = ...
>>>lcFileInRam = FileToStr("FileOnDisk.txt")
>>>??? lcPrinterSetupCodes + lcFileInRam
>>>

>>>My reporting class does something similar.
