<div>
I am creating the file ok! was able to write to file in preporation to printing it! changed from FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL to FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM in desperation (I will however try your suggestion). Notice I closed the ^%#$ thing before geting a sharing violation. stepping thru the debugger shows a valid file handle, my problem is the printing of <br />
a file or writing to the printer. Somehow, I've got to get a list of( database) errors to a network printer! P.S. NT 4.0 server<br />
MSVC 4?<br />

Printing with Win32 api

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
