If your form is based mainly on a dataset (in a datagrid), then you can pretty easily go the GDI+ route, just make a method that parses your datatable(s) and adds rows, columns. The only thing to watch out for is that you have to maintain your own page breaks (column, row states).

this is the code i used to print a letter through .net u need to make a template and insert boomarks where u want the information then save it to a directory then run this code it should work.

this bit opens and prints the form

Dim sPrecedentName As String = (your directory here)
Dim docLetter As Word.DocumentClass
Dim wrdSession As Word.ApplicationClass
Dim i As Int32 = 0


'Open Template
wrdSession = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrdSession.Visible = False
wrdSession.DisplayAlerts = Word.WdAlertLevel.wdAlertsMessageBox
docLetter = wrdSession.Documents.Open(sPrecedentName, , True, False)

'Populate
Me.ImportBookmarks(docLetter, your parameter here)

'Close Template
wrdSession.ActiveDocument.PrintOut()

While wrdSession.Application.BackgroundPrintingStatus > 0
'Waiting for doc to print
Application.DoEvents()
End While

'Close Document without saving
docLetter.Close(False)
wrdSession.Quit()

this bit inputs the data into the form

Dim bmBookmark As Word.Bookmark


fill your dataset here

With ur dataset
For Each bmBookmark In docLetter.Bookmarks
bmBookmark.Select()
Select Case bmBookmark.Name

Case " bookmark 1"
docLetter.Application.Selection.TypeText(.Item(enter dataset column)

Case "bookmark 2"
same as above

Case "bookmark 3"
same as above

Case "bookmark 4"
same as above

End Select
Next
