Is there a way to create a Tiff image using visual basic 6.0 ? I have a database of sales order information. I want to create an order sheet for each order and save it as tiff image on my server. How can this be done ?

Yes it is possible, but it may be easier to create a PDF file, as there are many free PDF writers available (both by code or/and by printer driver).

Would you mind providing some tips on how to create TIFF in VB 6.0 ?

There are no intrinsic VB methods to save as a TIFF file. However, the Kodak image edit control does allow you to do this. It comes as part of the win 95/98 installation, but I don't think it was in anything later than that. There are other ways of getting hold of it however - try a Google search including "imgedit.ocx". For info on using it, try:

Although the customer has required that it may be advisable to speak with him and point him into another direction.
As I said PDF is, perhaps, a better choice, and I am sure that the customer will be very likely to be able to handle that format.
Regardles of that see exactly what are the requirements for the format to be TIFF and investigate possible changes to that. It may turnout that a better solution for both you and the customer is neither TIFF or PDF.

Ok, you can do it using the little publicised Windows Image Aquisition libraries, which are Microsoft's 'replacment' for the Kodak/Wang controls and which I have previously mentioned in this forum in thread222-787961
In that thread I also mention using GDI+ (which is what the above libraries are based on), and you should be able to find my examples of using the GDI+ library to save jpgs (minor modification will allow the examples to save TIFF instead), eg thread222-760856
