    Enjoy.

    BTW, I have really found some good stuff on www.vb-helper.com

    See the HowTo section.

    this won't directly solve your problem but you may want to try your luck at www.vbforums.com

    They have excellent help there sometimes I get an answer within the hour...

    they also have forums for C++, java, and other languages

    Printer.Print expr

    is the command which will send expr to the printer. Additional properties can be set, such as:

    Printer.Font.Name="Courier"
    Printer.Font.Bold=True
    Printer.Font.Size=12

    PrintForm

    prints the content of the form.

    Also near the end of your program you may want to include

    Printer.Enddoc

    since the windows print manager usually waits until it has a whole page to print, this will ensure that your data doesn't get lost

    Sorry if these things are something you already know or too simplistic, but I've found with VB that sometimes one teeny little thing is causing a problem.

    i want to thank you all . I found what wend wrong sortly after posting.The problem is somewhat stupid.A crest of dried up ink had covered the nozzle of the black ink cartridge.As i always tried to print a small string ,all i could see was the page being transfered to the out tray. Thanks again everyone.
