Hi Aldrin, Make sure you do a good search for existing components before you spend a lot of energy writing a Print Preview component. There are plenty around, many of them free. For example, you might like to look at the Delphi Area (http://www.delphiarea.com/products/#TPrintPreview). This is freeware and you can download the source to see how it works.
