• camtx1400 Printform anything better???

  I am trying to develop a reusable method of printing various forms. I've toiled with printform but it seems to restrictive i.e many times I need to be able to print "Duplex" or set the printer resolution to its highest 600 DPI.. printform to the best of my knowledge can't handle this. I would like to have a method I could use to print forms (sometimes many forms) to fill a standard 8.5x11 page even if the form utilizes a scrollbar. Printing using "PictureBox" seems to be what everyone recommends but no one has developed a common source code. Everyone has their own ideas which is good but confusing Any help would be appreciated Greatly!!!! Mitch5713   Oh yes I'm using Vb 5.0     ...Show All

With VB6 the "Date" (8-bytes) appears to be (7-bytes) in VB05 (My data on its size seems to vary). With VB6 the "Currency" (8-bytes) is replaced with "Decimal" (16-bytes).
