>Ed, I will be soon releasing some foxpro classes that allow complete programmatic control over the printers from foxpro. With the classes, you could design your own printer dialog form and programmaticly set any printer options to any printer hooked up to the computer or network.

This includes setting changing the printer settings, such as orientation, paper size, duplexing, color, etc... This is everything any visual foxpro programmer has wanted when it comes to printing.

Rob,

I don't want to have to re-invent the wheel; especially a MS wheel <g>.

I'd be very interested.

Thanks,
