First off, thanks for the quick reply i appreciate it. But in a way i dont really mind if its not a print driver, as long as the end user expeirence is that of a printer. So they click file,print and then choose a printer (which is my application). So in a way i want an application that acts as a printer on the front end, but just a string passer on the back end. does that make sense to you? _________________________________________________________________ Send us your Hotmail stories and be featured in our newsletter http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/195013117/direct/01/
