Thanks for your reply.

What used to happen - was - based on what printer was my default printer (a PCL5 or PCL6 or PS printer), VFP would generate code for that printer. It was not simply a text file - by that I mean someone could not pull it up in notepad and actually read it. It was in the printer's language.

Is there any way to do that in Crystal?
