Don, You're absolutely right. Setting up a scaled picture box, then writing to it makes it easy to print. As long as you keep the ScaleMode the same for the box and the printer, you can basically just do a find/replace to switch from picture to print. The only place that's not true is when you're doing stuff like lines, etc. and bitmaps. Since the resolution of the screen is so much different than that of the printer, you can get some interesting shifts on the screen image of your page or whatever. They're small, but can be significant in the long run. George
