Hi Carlos

There are more ways to obtain a print preview.
I suggest you to download Swiftprint.ocx.
It is a good ocx and with a little series of INVOKE statements you will be able to obtain a print preview.

There is another considerations: use the print preview using print form designed with Powerform.
To resolve this last issue, i'm using NED Imager printer device drive. It create a TIF image and you can see the result connecting the resulted file to be open with Kodak preview (kodakprv.exe) supplied in all Windows O.S.

You need only to define your PRTFILE descriptor, informing the Powerform runtime to "print" the form using the device driver above.

You can contact me at softline2000@tin.it

Hope in this help

Ola Lages.

Gostaria de saber se conseguiu obter o printpreview pois
estou a programar em Cobol Netexpress e estou com a mesma dificuldade.
