Hi,

I have a legacy system that prints "reports" that are really multiple FRXs. So, the report program processes data for an FRX, prints it and then moves on to the next FRX. We are encountering a problem on network printers because each FRX is sent to the printer as its own print job (e.g., other print jobs gets mixed in between).

What I would like to do is wrap the entire process in something that will prevent VFP from releasing the print job until all the FRXs have been output and then let them all go as one print job.

Has anyone done anything like this? Since this is LEGACY code (and pretty bad code at that) I would like to do this with a minimum of fuss and bother in the code. I was thinking that there might be an API call that would do what I want (although I am not sure what it is). I have the option of outputting to another medium, perhaps, (like RTF) and printing that but that could alter the formatting somewhat.

I am open to any and all ideas.

Thanks in advance,

Menachem Bazian
