I would appreciate any help. Thanks Garth e-mail: garths@wjordan.com It would have been much easier for me if you hadn't encoded your message. You mean in an ace-report? This is done in several ways by different programmers, and was discussed some time ago (6 months, a year?) and you may be able to find something about it on dejanews or in the archives at www.iiug.org. I don't remember if it's in the faq, but it should be. If you had only one type of printers you could directly print the codes needed using the ascii function. A better way is to read these codes from somewhere (the database) into variables depending on the printer type and print those. Another way that may be even better is to print your own generic set of codes and use a simple Unix script to replace those with whatever your printer requires.
