Printing into paper form

[MikeCt]

Hi
I have a paper form that I need to fill in with data from the program I've written. I would like to print the form at the same time as filling in the data. I've been trying to find where to start but if I inquire about forms, I get info about building forms on the screen used with programing, not printing forms. If I inquire about reports I get info on gathering data into reports. The form I need to fill in has lines running horizontal and vertically with the data printed into the appropriate place. Is it as simple as building a form on the screen and using some form of print screen or is there a better way using a template that I design? Is there a form designer that works with VB6 for this purpose?

Thanks
Mike

You can print things on a page where you like, so with a bit of messing around you could get your program to print things in the right places.

Printer.CurrentX = 100
Printer.CurrentY = 200
Printer.Print "Hello world"
Printer.EndDoc

If you change the Printer.ScaleMode property to centimeters you could measure on the form with a ruler where to print things and use the measurements in VB.
