Need more information: 1) is this a windows app or web app 2) what kind of database are you using Will

You probably want to look into using crystal reports for this. Once the user has selected a row form the Datagrid you can move that row into a data table, bind that to a crsytal report, and then export that to a pdf.

I would look at the PrintDocument class and related. You can push these document types write to a printer such as the Adobe PDF Writer.

You could also look at pushing the documents to a PostScript printer and saving it to a file. Then converting it to a PDF using GhostScript. I hate users. Not all of them, just the ones who talk.Al Einstien
