I am not writing it to a txt file I am opening LTP1 for output. Is there a way to do what you are saying without writing to a txt file. The reason I want to share this is so 2 computers can enter in info to be printer at the same time and then printed to the same receipt printer. So if they are both trying to open the same file it may cause a problem. Is there a way to code it so I can just put in the following:
-------------------------------------------------
Open "LPT1:" For Output As #1
Print #1, Chr$(27) & "0"
Print #1, Widthbigger; emphasized; " Wheaton Meat Company"; WidthReset; unemphasized
