There are a few ways to print the form:
-Get a Windows screen print utility.
-You can programatically press the print screen key to save the form to the clipboard, append the clipboard into a general field, print a report containing the general field. This works great for VFP 5 but I was unable to get it to work in VFP 3. This solution was on the Universal Thread a few months ago.
-Programatically create a report on the fly that duplicates the contents of the form. Lisa Slater Nichols showed this method at Devcon 96. She has the code on her website http://www.softspoken.co.nz/lisa_fox.htm. This code works for VFP 3 and gives a pretty code representation of the data on the form.
