Karen,
I don’t know if the code essentially does the same thing does as the ‘print screen’ on the keyboard does (except in this case, only the portion of the form in view), but if it does, print screen only captures what is in view on the screen. I use print screen quite often to capture contents for one reason or another and it has always just captured what is in view on the screen even though what I may be looking at is a portion of a larger image. If I am correct, it is probably related to windows and how the form is drawn on the screen that is probably in memory that can be captured. In other words, what you see on the screen is something akin to a cropped image that can be moved around using scroll bars. My first thought to capture the entire form that is not in view, I would think one would have to change the resolution to allow the entire form to be seen and then capture it to print. The other observation I can make is that Firefox (and perhaps others) can zoom out when printing an invoice from a website in case the default image printed is larger than the paper can print. Usually one can see this effect in print preview and adjust the image size to print. How this works is something I have not looked into. Just guessing, but perhaps the above might trigger an idea. Maybe Razzak can comment. Maybe an adjustable print to screen from a form might be a nice addition if it can’t be done by code. Printing a form rather than a report could be quite handy, now that I think about it.

Karen, My form is 1714 x 991. How gib is yours? I’ll try setting my form to that size and see what happens.

Ah, I had 2 commands, I thought the "fittopage" was perhaps just a setting. I wondered why it printed out twice! So I removed my 2nd command and left just the "fittopage" but the picture is still very big and has only a small portion of the entire form. No different from the "printer" I am printing on a Brother laser jet Karen -----Original Message----- From: Paul Buckley <[email protected]> To: rbase-l <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Apr 20, 2019 10:42 am Subject: RE: [RBASE-L] - Rbase_form Print options? Karen, I have a fairly large form and a Bit Button with the code below in the On Click EEP. May be this will work for you.

I want to put a "print this form" button on a very large form to send a print-screen to my printer. These are the only options I know that I can use, but only a portion of the form will print. Any other options I don't know about to shrink the picture onto one printer page, or another way to do it?
