When using Remote Access as suggested in this thread, is it reommended to run the EXE locally on remote same as LAN or WAN workstation? My app has a scheduler that creates and uses temp files for each user and will not work if the temp files are created and used on the server by another user.

Thanks Griff, I can access the back door of the application and do that by phone if necessary. Your response also deserves a star. Tony

Thanks Griff but no access to source at customer site 100 miles away. Thanks again Dave..you have a star

Thanks Dave, I want to avoid changing field length because that would involve a data conversion for all clients if I modify the structure. I will try the CHR(99) first, then the hex values. Happy Holidays, Tony

Thanks for the replies ... Dave, yes we have a table field where we enter the string to be sent to drawer through the printer. I am a couple of spaces short of entering the string as Mike suggested. Mike, thanks thats exactly how we do it. I just need to shorten the string. Griff, that...

Thanks Tamar, I'll try that Tony

We use the following code to view report data on the screen. The problem is certain words (report, for, to, day) in the report which happen to be syntax words appear in color. I can eliminate color when running from command window but when I compile and run it on user's computer colors...

Olaf, We originally tried ??? SYSINFO.CASHSTRING as you suggest but the printer was sent 40 characters which is the length of the field We then added the ALLTRIM which sent only the 6 characters as you said. Neither command sent the single BEL character. Thanks for your response, Tony

I have been going round and round with this POS issue and appreciate the input I've received here on Tek-Tips. I wanted to share the code that finally works without need for MSCOMM32 or other 3rd party program. I do have a question however... Can anyone explain why the line remarked 'did not...

Thanks Rick, I need to use with different printers but I'm sure my programmer will find your code very helpful. You have another STAR! Tony
