Help.....About print to file.

Dear All,

Hi all... How r ya ??? Well, I wanna make a print to file facility at my application. The data will be taken from my database at SQL Server, and the report will be printed to file, not a print-out report. And the file is .txt

Could anyone tell me how can I do that ??? Thx, and I do really appreciate to anykinds of help.

Assuming you have your records stored in array named Record() :

Code:

---


dim cnt as integer

open "c:\thefile.txt" for output as #1
  for cnt = 1 to TotalRecordCount
    print #1, Record(cnt) 'or however you have your data stored
  next cnt
close #1

Hi Wen Lie,

If you're not using Crystal Report (CR), maybe you can do
what TheMadMonk told you. But if you're, you can
just export your data out from CR to text file (no need to worry on the formating) by clicking export menu (button)
or you can control it from your VB program thru CR component.
CR has many formatting-options, you can check it out.
