Sorry Ron, I managed to completely corrupt my Inbox & Outbox last
month, and lost quite a few messages. I read your message but didn't
get round to replying before the crash. I hope this gets through;
there are still a few random (un)funnies happening.

If you download my print preview and report generator, you will find a
file win32prt.ew which contains replacement routines for the win32lib
print functions. The file support.ew also contains a routine
printButton which sets up landscape etc. You will need to:
1) edit win32lib and make "atom printer" global
2) make a copy of routine printButton from support.ew and edit to your
needs. At the very least you will need to delete the call to
initialise_pprg if you're not using the report generator.

Let me know if you can get my report generator demo to run,

Regards,
Pete
