>I put a PCL command in a field in the footer of my report that executes a macro stored in the laser printer. To my surprise it worked great, but I am running into problems. It seems to only work with one specific driver. If I load the Window 98 driver, or laserjet 4 driver the command simply prints in the footer instead of executing the PCL. I've tried calling a UDF to send the PCL codes, but that sends a separate job to the printer instead of imbedding the code into the print job of the report. Any comments are appreciated.

Marcus,
I'm not sure of this but Laserjet printers use two different drivers, one being PCL. Might it be in win98 you didn't set PCL driver ? (ie: in Xerox I use there is one PCL and one Postscript driver and I added it as two printers to my system, one using PCL and the other PS).
