Thanks Seth. I am downloading their demo. This seems to be a commerical product. Are you saying there is no built-in way of outputing a database to a printer in Real Basic?

Well it depends on your definition of built-in, but no I wasn't saying anything of the sort.

There's no direct way to print from a database because that's to generalized and there wouldn't be any cure-all way to do it. It's a two step process.

If you want to print, you retrieve the records that you want to print, use the OpenPrinter or OpenPrinterDialog functions to get a graphics object and draw into it (which prints what you draw).
