Great link, Tracy. I will check, if this example could be easily converted into VFP code. I would be also interested, where are the printer codes online and how do you send them? Using ??? syntax?

Thanks again.

Well, I checked the code and see, that it uses Printer.hDC, which doesn't have analogue in VFP. It also uses a simple structure.

So, perhaps solution should be to create a VB COM.

I even now remembered about something like that in Downloads section VBPrinter, which I didn't try to use.

>If it is a report, you could edit the frx programmatically. We do this in our programs for different reasons. We copy the frx to a temporary file and change the settings we need to and run the temp file frx instead of the original in code. Other than that, the only way I know of is to send the printer control codes to the printer using ??? in code which is dependent on your printer, although many printers accept standard hp LJII, IBM, or Epson codes. All of our laserjets and ink jet printers accept LJII codes and all of our dot matrix printers accept Epson or IBM codes. For sending printer control codes, I did cheat and pull most of them from the prntcode.dbf that came with FPD26.
