Hello,

I need to find a way to print an Access Report to a Plain Text File. Using
the Printer Port "File" and the Generic/Text Only Printer screws the format
up way too much. Is there another way? Thanks!

Trying to get a complex graphic (i.e. report) to make sense
in a text file is not goiing to make sense no matter what
you do. Try exporting the report's record source query
instead.

Under very strict restictions you **might** be able to print
the report to a text printer, but it is also a losing
proposition. You would be better off just printing the
report's record source query.

Why? As in "why do you want an Access Report in a text file format?"

It may be that there are alternate approaches, if we but knew what end-goal
you have in mind...
