Gilberto, someone in this forum described (about 2-3 month ago) a way to simulate printscreen programatically basically it is a matter of issung a printscreen key stroke and pasting the form to a general field , then printing a report on that in your case , you may be able to lock the desktop, create a form with the grid alone and print it Arnon >The app I'm writing is basically a model where the data on a table (that can vary in column count depending on the model picked up by the grid) has properties that simulate the behaviour of a pile of coal. There are only 8 lines(records) used on the table at all times. Now, the different colors represent different types of coal (chemical composition, etc.) and each box in the grid represents 200 tons of coal. So, the resulting map is what is required to be printed. To be more specific this is the grid as it looks on a form. Would there be any way to use the report designer to bring the grid to it, or any other way? Any ideas, or suggestions are greatly appreciated? (Print screen cannot be used). > >Thanks in advance.
