As part of an Access system I am writing, I need to pick up a text file and dump it's contents directly to a printer. The file contains details formatted for output on to continuous stationery so I do not want any additional printer commands added so I guess I need to write some VBA code. In addition, the first two items on the file are dummies to be used for lining up the stationery. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to do this.
