Bob,

Download vbPrinter.ocx, and drop it on your form:

http://www.levelextreme.com/wconnect/wc.dll?FournierTransformation~2,54,Forum=5,28,1103

Assuming that you name the vbPrinter control 'oPrinter', and your richtext control is oRtf, you can print the selection with:

thisForm.ortf.selPrint(thisForm.oprinter.hdc)

I can't tell you how to change printers or any other details of the VBPrinter.ocx, but I am able to print from richTextControl using this class.

HTH,
