Printing in the background

[stevens]

Is it possible to set visual foxpro 5 or 6 to print reports in the background while doing other things in the foreground? And if so, how do you do it?

My favorate trick is to compile the print routine into a stand alone exe.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have used several methods to pass information from one program to another tell the print program what to do by:<br>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;Passing parameters to the program.<br>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;Populate a database created just for that reasom.<br>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;Populate a Memo field in a database.<br>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;Saving Memory files.<br>I then call the other program with a RUN command. <p>David W.
