>>You can write your own routine which would output a text file in PS format - if you have the time. I've actually done that once, long time ago, to produce some fancy 3D graph (in FPD1.02, I think, and printed it on a funny little Mannesmann MT81 plastic printer via GoScript PS interpreter). Surgeon general's warning: writing postscript may be hazardous to your health. PS is a derivate of Forth - you'll end up programming your report in RPN logic (reverse Polish notation, where you put all the arguments on stack and issue the operator after them). You may look at the postscript driver for FPD, or at least the results it produces, because it's probably unreadable - it's a .plb.

Hello I have a RTF box on VFP 5.0 in which I created a letter merge routine but
how do I go to invoke the correct print driver to submitt the job to print to
the printer or to a FILE whichever selection I pick??
