Print PicBox at Co-ords on page???

I am trying to print a PictureBox control (Container with image controls and labels) to a printer... The difficulty I'm having is when I try to place the PictureBox at certain co-ordinates on the page. I am currently trying various methods - none successfully. I'd appreciate ANY help!!

Ark

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim PrintingX as Long, PrintingY As Long
Dim PrintingWidth as Long, PrintingHeight as Long
' Set these values as you need

PrintingX = Printer.CurrentX
PrintingY = Printer.CurrentY
PrintingWidth = Picture1.Width
PrintingHeight = Picture1.Height
Printer.PaintPicture Myform.Picture1.Image, PrintingX, PrintingY, PrintingWidth, PrintingHeight
End Sub

Cheers

Thanks for the speedy reply there Arc... Unfortunatley, when I entered the code and ran the application, I received the error msg >> 'valid Picture' (which is an improvement on the msgs I was getting earlier, I can say). Would you have any advice on this matter??

PS: The AutoRedraw property of the PictureBox control IS set to TRUE.

That Error Message should have said 'Invalid Picture' - Ooops!!

I am beginning to find that the problem is the fact that the PictureBox is containing other controls... Can anybody help???

Arc...
I have the Problem sorted out, but I will definately try your API call as it looks a lot more exact...

I have decided to just remove the PictureBox control and give exact co-ordinates for the printer object of each individual controls contents...

Thanks for the help... I accept both your answers with gratitude...
