instant print

is there any easy to use method to print a receipt directly from pressing a button instead of having report and than printing manually?

i know .printform but is there any way we can just print the part of the form? like by specifying cordinates?

thanks.

or may be by writing the code to the button and print it.

How is the receipt supposed to look?

You can use the printer object in VB, but each and everything thing on the printed document would need to be specifically formatted which could run into some pretty major code if you have specific, stylized, receipt printing needs.

What is the issue with the report route?

it is actually a gatepass; and yes it needs to be profesionally developed. how can we code the formatiing? can we include images etc?

Images??

You will be better served using a report engine for this.

Copy the data to a RichTextBox and print it from there. You can include images, formattted text etc
