Believe it or not, found that just after I had sent the email (felt so daft).....is there anyway to control the margins, something like Printer.LeftMargin = 1000 or anything ?

Try this...

Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape

Paul,

Instead of trying to print the form why not have a report the displays
the same data as the form and print the report?  Of course if you were
using Access and VBA this would not be as hard as it is in pure VB6.

To all,

I have a Visual Basic 6 application from which (every so often) a user
will need to print the form thats currently being shown on screen (i.e.
frmEmployees).  If I use the PrintForm method I don;t seem to have any
control on printing as landscape etc.  Does anyone know the best and
most efficient way to achieve this...

Thanks in advance for any help on this....

Paul Hartland
