We use PRINTER.DLL, but this is a 16 bit version, and of course fails from the 32 bit calls.

Is there a 32 bit DLL available.

I'm not speaking on Revelation's behalf, but I'm pretty certain I can predict the response. Given that the Printer.DLL and OIPI are virtually redundant methods, with the OIPI being the far superior product, I seriously doubt they will convert this. I could be wrong of course.



Do you have a lot of code using the Printer.DLL? Is that why you want to maintain it?

<QUOTE>I dont have much code, only 4 DLL calls.

I use it to calculate text height and width, without having to open the OIPI.

I can't recall exactly why, as it has been there for a long time, but I think it was added so I could calculate things without a blank page being wasted each time, eg for calculations of printer placements and export which does not use the OIPI.



It is probably the case that I could call the OIPI and not waste a tree every time I do, so I will have to investigate further.

<QUOTE>Have now checked the code and converted to OIPI calls instead.

It seems the PrintSetup=3 allows this to be hidden.



Thanks

<QUOTE>Colin-



The Printer.dll was converted to 32-bit, and we still use it. I just tested it again



OIPI is a better tool, by a far piece.
