    ok - can I make this work for printing?

    I need to print out some pics a user selects onto a A4 size page. Since form.printform only prints what is visible (which is less than the size of a A4 page) can I call 2 print forms and have them print on the same page.

    ie:
    form4.printform
    form5.printform

    Right now they print what I need but on seperate pages. can they be combined?

    I would look into either using the printer object (look it up in help) or look into using a datareport. (look it up in help)

    I have tried the printer object without no prevail and a datareport with images does not seem to make sense. Can anyone let me know if you can use the printform twice to print on the same page -- or just a way to print on A4? Is VB this limited??

    what was stopping you with the printer object? it gives u alot of control, i find it VERY hard to master though!

    i think the data report would be a good idea IF you can set the picture of the picture objects at runtime, im not sure if you can.
