Try Crystal Reports that ships with VB 6.0 Pro version.

Look up the printer object
methods like currentx, currenty,
printer.fontbold
You can print anywhere on the page in any font you want
Its good for reports
its good to print on preprinted forms
VB can do reports easier than learning Crystal Reports

You could also use MSdataReportDesigner that comes with VB6. This makes very
nice reports with minimal programming, but no graphics.
