I have a 8 year old business application program written in clipper, that my client would like converted to windows. I have writen most of the information screens in CC Studio and it works great. The problem is how do I print the legal documents needed in the program? Some of the documents like petitions are multi page using up to 4 or 5 databases and can be 2 to 6 pages depending on the situation. The present system sends the documents directly to the local printer, without going through any windows print boxes. I would like to created these documents and have them print with the least amount of user action. Any sugestions?

Well.. there are several possibilites here.
1 - using style sheets and generated HTML you can diplay the document in the browser. Thats way you can have the page breaks.
And all the client has to do is tose the standard Print option within the Browser.
2 - more complex but if these are LEGAL documents and thus their un-alterability is paramont then use a server side solution to put these into a PDF, and set the permissions on the PDF to be "No Change". Then send the PDF to the Browser.
We use a reporting solution from SSW thats enables us to run MS-Access on the server and print reports that way. The reports are automatically created as PDF's and passed back to the browser. Cost is pretty good when comparing with Crystal.
I have see a couple of mentions here on the forum re PDF generation so you can also look at those.
Take Care
