I am wanting to print a access database file by going up to my menu strip and clicking print. I don't want to preview the file or anything, I just want the code to simply pop up the default print dialog box and be able to hit print. Everything I have looked at seems to be very complex, is there not a easy way to just print this database file? Again I don't want to edit the output file at all with fonts, borders, etc.
View 1 RepliesI basically have an application that generates reports in a .html file, I use a .html file for the ease of making tables and formatting text.Now I would like to introduce a way of printing the reports from my program. Because I use a .html file, the formatting would not the correct if I was to print it directly from my application (as far as I know). For this reason, I would like to print it just like my web browser would have in order to keep the tabular data intact and the text formatting.

View 2 RepliesI am new to vbExpress. I am working in vb express with MsAccess as database. I have a form with ListView and some comboboxes,textboxes,buttons etc. Now I am at the stage of forming different reports from database and then printing them. Like I want to make a RECEIPT with CompanyName as header, date, time, Serial Number, ItemDescription, Quantity,Price, Amount,Mode of payment. Then I want to generate sales reports like daily sale, weekly sale, monthly sale. The things like that. Definitely I will use SQL statements to bring data from the tables according to the requirements of reports. My question is how I can make and display different reports from the databases and to print them in proper format.

View 4 Repliesmy program involves printing a .txt file ive created with the same program. when i open the .txt file all the alignments ive set up work and look good but when i print the document the alignments are all off. im thinking it might be something with the formatting method ive used. im currently using something like this:
dim strFormat as String strFormat = "{0,-70}{1,-7}{2,-20}{3,3}{4,11}"
sw.WriteLine(String.Format(FmtItem, strDes1, dblQuan1, dblunit1, " = ", dblAmt1))

View 1 RepliesI'm creating an application which has an scheduler to print and it checks if there is a pending job on the print queue before it prints the next file. I use a timer which checks if there is any file to be printed on my database. Example, the timer ticks and selected 10 files to be printed, it should print the 10 files 1 at a time, if there's no print queue, that's the only time the next file should print. I think another timer is required which will keeps on checking if print queue is done. How will i do this?
View 2 RepliesI have a program in which I display a list of files in a ListView control and then send them all to a printer. I verified that the file is getting from the list to the print routine;however, I cannot seem to get the print function working right. I have tried several methods after reading many forum posts and articles to no avail. I listed my print routine below for reference; I send the file to the ReadFile sub that programatically creates the Print Document and then calls the Print page event. All in all rather simple, but I keep gettting about a dozen lines of blocks and arbitrary characters and then my document starts printing. I thought that by defining the SizeF structure in the MeasureString method and the RectangleF in the DrawString method I would clear up the problems
