Printer to a file

rbuser

Hi,

I would need to print a report to a file but not a textfile or PDF or so,
but a plain data file that contains the printer layout, such that I can copy
this file to the printerdevice afterwards.
I thought I figured this out some time ago (without any need to do any
modifications on the printer settings of Windows).

Or I must have dreamt I did this, or my intelligence is diminishing, but I
can't find it anymore.

We are using PRB Prof 7.01 with Waler components.


Thanks,

Hi,

You need to set the FileName string property on the Report.PrinterSetup
object, if you want to save the PRN file. It is a public property, so you
won't see it in the object inspector. There are some articles in the
TechTips newsgroup which provide information about controlling the printer-
they provide some info on the printer setup class.
