hi,

have
> to run a Windows program (DOSPRINT) from within my dos based dbase
program.

are you talking about http://dosprint.tripod.com Product ?

if yes, there are a lot of Limits like :

only Courier Font
not Graphics or Pictures
only EPSON escape codes, no PCL etc.
Problem๏ฟฝs with ASCI > 128 e.g. EURO Sign

to create a printfile use :

Procedure Print2File(cFileName)
      SET ALTERNATE TO cFileName
      SET ALTERNATE ON
***
Print what you want
***
      SET ALTERNATE TO
Return
