Print long Texts on the printer

[Matt-D]

English:
There's a textbox filled by a Access 1.10 Database and I want to rint it out, but the printer only print on line with the method I know :
Printer.Print Text1.text
Printer.EndDoc
What have I to do here (VB3) , Matt

Deutsch:
Ich habe ein Textfeld, das über eine Datenbank gefüllt wird, aber der Drucker druckt nur eine Linie mit der Methode, die ich kenn (s.o.).
Was muß ich hier tun ? (VB3) , Matthias

you need to split the text into lengths of approx 75 characters (if your using courier New font)

MyString = Text1.text

for i = 0 to (len(mystring) mod 75) + 1
printer.print, mid(mystring, (i * 75), 75)
next i

i think this will do the trick, if it misses out some of the characters, then adjust the for i = ... line, (i havent tested it but i have used this in the past).
