Rick,

If you can use all ??? output for the report it's quite easy to send a file of PCL commands to the printer. The easiest way is:

create cursor temp1 ( mForms m )
append blank
append memo mForms from forms.pcl
wait window "Downloading claim forms to the printer" nowait
??? "" + temp1.mForms && can't ??? a memo directly so make it a string
use


>I am trying to send a file of PCL code to a laser printer from within an VFP5 application. It does not work directly. It was suggested that I use a .dll, but I don't know how. Can anyone help?
