Capture Print Data

Got an email from an old friend and I'm not sure how to help him. Am thinking maybe have the report print to file and then somehow access the data from the .prn? Not sure how to that accomplish that however.

Any ideas how this can be done?

Here's their request:

The information we want to capture is already contained in a report that
is printed. Any ideas on how to capture the information in the report as
it heads to the printer and dump it into a csv for example? The report
prints to a regular networked printer.

Is the information in a text file?

You can use CutePDF (a free program) to create a PDF of anything you want to send to the printer. It acts like a printer, so you just print to it and it prompts you for a filename. It works great. It has saved a few trees for me.

Thanks for the info dglienna, I've forwarded it on.

I guess I'm still curious though, can VB6.0 be used to read a .prn file and, if so, how?
