How would you go about writing code to print data in an external .txt file ?

thanx

I would get a .dbf version of the file using the IMPORT command. Then print it as you wish.

First, I'd recommend you read the following to learn how to formulate a question:

Next, research the following commands in the VFP help file:
SET PRINTER TO
SET ALTERNATE TO
STRTOFILE
COPY TO

sorry wasent very spacific

I had a problem when setting it to print in FP so i was told to send the data to an external .txt file and print from there.
I got the data to go to the text file but i'm a little stuck on finding the right command to make it just print the txt file
