Hi

I'm having a slight problem with printing
this is the bit of code i'm using

*************************************************
procedure due_back
clear
USE A:\TABLES\cdfile.DBF in 1
SET COLOR OF FIELDS TO N/W*
select 1

date1= date()
date2 = ctod("00/00/00")


locate for (date_back) > date1
do while found ()
if (date_back) > ctod("//")
list cd_num,title,artist,style,date_back,whogotit off to print
wait
endif

enddo
return
************************************************************

Problem is when i set it To print it prints it but its all over the page and not all together
but when i just set it to screen its all neat and in rows
I dont think its a printer prob as i'v tryed it on other printers.
I'v also tryed to remove some of the fields as i though that ,that could be the prob, that it wouldent fit on all one line but when i remove some fields it seems to want to spreed out the data even more but again only when i set it to print.
any help would be greatly apreciated
thanks
 
Hi
Try to send the output to a text file then print the text file.
Read the help for SET ALTERNATE Command for more info how to do that.
Thanks
