I need to draw a box using the Printer.Line method. The box can appear in one of three columns on the printout. I know what column I will be working with when I draw the box, but the row (X-coordinate) will always vary. I need some generic method for printing the box in any of one of the three columns. I tried the example for drawing boxes on MSDN, but I am missing something. I can not get it to work for a generic statement for printing anywhere on the page. I can only get it to work for specific coordinates.

MWOODS,
Cn you be more specific about the problem? The Line (Box) function is quite standard, and readily accepts "parameters" as arguments. The only areas where use of the Line function departs from VERY straight-forward is (perhaps) the need to be aware of the printer properties, especially the Scale Mode.

There is never time to do it right but there is always time to do it over
