Well, you can't print a file directly; you have to print from memory.

You can use:
MyPrintJob = FileToStr("ReportOutput.txt")
??? PrinterCodes + MyPrintJob
Assuming that your textfile is called ReportOutput.txt, and you already declared the variable PrinterCodes (to prepare the printer, for instance, condensed print).

HTH, Hilmar.
