printer file "name" - problem RESOLVED!!!!!

Attached is a text file that explains the appropriate way to override a 
printer defined in an output report, how to use PUTENV to have the heading 
run only once, how to print an ASCII file to the disk.

Using this method you can also have the option to run the report itself 
(hardcopy), to create an ASCII file, to create an EXCEL file, to Email the 
file as an attachment or anything else you want to do with the information 
generated.

Again, this is just a simple example of the inherent power of filePro. It is 
only limited by our imaginations.

It's worth a look. It also lays to rest some misunderstandings of the 
features that filePro has and its uses.

Comments on how to make it better would be appreciated. I would only ask 
that you provide specific code on how you would do it. I have no problem 
with the list bashing me personally as long as we all learn from the 
bashing.

Regards to all,
