In FoxPro for Windows, you could print a report created in FoxPro/DOS, and it would print in text mode. I don't know whether this still works in VFP6.

What I currently do is create a textfile with "?" and "??" (another alternative, used by other programmers, is "@...say"), and then send printer codes and the textfile (loaded in RAM with filetostr()) directly to the printer with "???".

More details on request.

I think I will have to write a FAQ on this, but I didn't find the time to do it yet.

HTH, Hilmar.
