Hello everybody


I have a data report that i have created, I don't have any images only some labels . Now i have heard that i can print it to file, and from there i can print it faster in the dos mode. now how do i do this.

the following is the code that i picked up from a previously give thread but how do i use it?. this is for one way communication on a parallel port.


VB Code:
Dim fn As Integer
fn = FreeFile()

Open "LPT1:" For Output As #fn
Print #fn, "your data here"
Close #fn


my data report name is patient
1. ho do i make it into a text file
2. print that text file in the dos mode.
