How do I print a particular label or textbox in visual basic?

By printing, I am referring to the actual hardcopy that comes out of a printer...haha

Thanks for your help.

Thanks.

One more question, if there are multiple printers avaliable how can I select which one to print from?

A couple of ways...

Dim P As Printer

Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName

For Each P In Printers
  Debug.Print P.DeviceName
  If P.DeviceName = "The Name of the printer" Then
    Set Printer = P
    Exit For
  End If
Next P

Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName

or by using the common dialog control

Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName

CD.ShowPrinter

Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName

Good Luck
