There is a lot of nice things about Crystal Reports, however they tend to have a lot of design flaw in previous versions of their software (e.g. 8.5). :) Nick Parker The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes. - Winston Churchill

To disable the close button in a form, add this module to your project... Option Explicit Option Private Module Public Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" _ (ByVal hwnd As Long, _ ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long Public Declare Function RemoveMenu Lib "user32" _ (ByVal hMenu As Long, _ ByVal nPosition As Long, _ ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long Public Const MF_BYPOSITION = &H400& Public Function DisableCloseButton(frm As Form) As Boolean Dim lHndSysMenu As Long Dim lAns1 As Long, lAns2 As Long lHndSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(frm.hwnd, 0) '//remove close button lAns1 = RemoveMenu(lHndSysMenu, 6, MF_BYPOSITION) '//Remove seperator bar lAns2 = RemoveMenu(lHndSysMenu, 5, MF_BYPOSITION) '//Return True if both calls were successful DisableCloseButton = (lAns1 <> 0 And lAns2 <> 0) End Function Then in the form_load() event, add this Private Sub Form_Load() Dim retval as boolean retval = DisableCloseButton(frmName) End Sub as for starting the form maximized, there should be a property window for the form with an option labeled "WindowState", just set that to "2-Maximized" or add this to the form_load() event as well frmName.WindowState = 2

For MS Office documents, look at Q224351[^]

There is a great example of printing Word Documents to a Fax Device or other specific printer on www.gotdotnet.com. The site is currently down or I would provide you with a direct link. When it is available again just search for SendMSWordDocumentViaFaxExample.

Thank you for your response. I had one yes/no field and i was passing string into it. Solved the problem and thank you again.:laugh: Zulfikar Ali

drmzunlimited, Keep in mind there are many ways to do this. When I did this I created two forms, a textbox on each and a button on form1 to invoke this action, the click event of the button looks like this: Private Sub Button1\_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim a As String Dim b As Form2 b = New Form2() a = Me.TextBox1.Text.ToString b.TextBox1.Text = a.ToString b.Show() End Sub :) Nick Parker The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes. - Winston Churchill

Everything has been taken into consideration before hand so no advice please in how it should be but thanks for the effort.

Not really sure what the scope of your question is so I will say this: label1.Caption = "2^x" This will allow you to display an exponent. HTH :) Nick Parker The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes. - Winston Churchill
