Title:
VFP Reports and odd sized forms
We develop apps for users that produce tickets and invoices on old fashioned, pre-printed forms on tractor feed printers. The VFP report designer gives us fits with these forms. Many printer drivers don't allow the form sizes we need, and setting a user-defined size only works consistently if we use the basic Generic Text Driver. We usually end up creating a temporary report cursor with each record representing a formatted data string (line) to be printed. Then we use a report form with one detail line. We set the printer to the Generic Text Driver with Continuous, No pagebreak. We adjust the number of records to make the data come out on the right line of the form. This is a huge, time consuming pain. Does anyone have a better approach? Any help would be much appreciated.
