But they are not, and only turn on bold, so now you are 5 characters out. I am not sure why 75 and not 85. > 2) More information about using printer command in ACE-reports ? I find it a lot easier to print control characters on a separate line so that you don't confuse ACE or yourself Dude. Try something like this: print ascii 27,"(s3B"; print column 80, "PICKING LIST" But don't forget the semi-colon!
