I have reports that are saved to a binary memo field. I want to send those reports directly to the printer, bypassing the windows print drivers.

I know that VFP 3.0 can do this, its available in the system menu under "Print", but I can't find a way to do it with code. In order to print the saved reports, presently I am copying the memo to a file, and using the dos copy command. "run copy filename.txt lpt1". This meathod brings up a dos window and is not an acceptable way to print the reports.

Can anyone help?

Thanks Harvey
