Is there any commands in DBPro that let you print to the printer. In the index I can see print (print to screen obviously) and printc. I can't see what printc does though because it tells me the file cannot be found in the help system. Does anyone know what this command does?

It's not for printing to a printer, I can tell you that much. I have a DLL here written by Lee for direct printer access, please give me some time to tidy it up and release - I have my work cut-out with the retro compo at the moment, but it does exist.

Cheers,
