Just noticed those commands are part of the drives sdk.
Also, we are using Active Reports .NET and VB.NET in VS 2003
Summary:
Scenerio:
We are writing an application used in the Distribution of Printed Materials
In the distribution process, each store getting product can get 1 to 9
reports.
Of those reports, there could be several variations
So, store 1 gets: Report 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a
Store 2: Report 1a, 2b, 3a, 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a, 8a, 9a
Store 3: Report 1f, 2d, etc...
My problem is
1: Out business is customized so we can not standardize the reports
2: We have to print the reports out in order (ie all tre reports for store
1, then store 2, etc...)
3: None of the reporting tools allows enough flexibility to cove the
variation we have
4: We have to have them in order for shipping (so printing groups using the
same reports isnt an option)
5: And we really need it to go as one print job so it comes out in order,
fails as a whole, and doesnt have anyone elses printing showing up in the
middle of the job.
6: works in FoxPro and VFP
ideas?

Hello,
I have a need to print several reports (doing them as sub reports is
not an option)
In VFP we use the SET PRINTER commands to basically open the printer,
print several reports, and close the printer to release the whole job as
one job
Can this be done in VB.NET???
Would the CmdStartJob and CmdEndJob be the functions to use?
If so or not, any suggestions on how to implement this?
