>Are there any third party tools that will make printing a regular sales receipt (about 3 inches wide) easier using VFP?

Are you using a receipt printer [e.g. an Epson receipt printer]? If so, you are in luck!!!!! Epson has a free download of their developer kit which includes an ActiveX control for you to use in printing receipts. The printing is extremely fast. It also integrates with VFP very well. I use it in one of my apps.

This is free upon filling out the following Epson POS Registration Form.
