Print from dbase iv in dosbox meg 6 on windows 7 x64
(OP)
I am looking for code for a print batch file to write to a network printer. It will write to a printfile, using printfil 5.2, but only when I exit the dbase programme each time.

The problem isn't getting it to print, I have to exit DBASE IV before it will write the file for printfil to pick up. I am missing a bit of code that closes the file once the data has been output to file. If I try to delete the file while DBASE is still running it says can't delete file still open in DOSBOX proving that the file has not yet been closed.

I have the same problem with dBase III+ and some Clipper apps, we have to close the cmd or dosbox window to print and also to flush data to disk. Fortunately we have Codlfusion and were able to move all printing processes to the browser, but our 64 bit clients still have to exit to flush their data activity.
Is the print job in the client's print queue? If so, try stopping and starting it.

Good luck.
