how to print a form

[icca]

I want to print a form. Just print it out.I can't find any examples of how to do this.

In Visual Basic 6.0, the PrintForm method of a form could be used to send an image of the form to a printer. The PrintForm method is no longer supported in Visual Basic .NET. The results of the PrintForm method varied greatly depending on the screen resolution and the resolution of the printer; it was not the recommended method of printing. If you need to duplicate the functionality of the PrintForm method, you can automate the screen capture capabilities of a third-party graphics tool to capture and print an image of a form.

Get 'Snag-It'. It's one of the best screen printing programs around. I use it for everything, from printing little sections of the screen to capturing images for my presentations and documentation.

How about if you just want to print out the contents of the form as they are displayed on the form?
