I had a utility that captured the printer name, set the printer to
landscape, printed the screen and then returned the printer to the original
orientation but I ran into the same problem you have. TTBOMK it has to do
with the form background and the printer driver. It worked great on my color
lasers but at my client location it printed OK on their B&W lasers but
printed a big black square on their ink jets (uses a lot of ink...not very
cool); I ended up creating a simple report that prints the record on the
screen, more efficient less headaches.

I tried this trick but all i got was a big black square printed. What are the form requirements to get the form to print as it is on screen?

This is WAY too cool. Nice little routine. I did find one little glitch. I tested this on a form with some DB checkboxes checked. The whole form matched a screen print, with the exception of ONE checkbox check not printing, it just printed the box. I'll have to play with this to see what was different about that checkbox, I think it was the last thing I did on the form. In any event, what a great useful feature. BC

Bob,
Ask and you shall receive!
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM PRINT 'PRINTER' RETURN
Use that command as an embedded EEP for a button on the form.
For complete details:

Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
