Re: Reports 2.5 - Printing directly to a file

Hi,

If your ultimate goal is to print query results in a specific format to your printer you may want to consider using my utility Oraxcel.

Oraxcel fetches data from Oracle into Excel. You can format the results in Excel (or automate it using a macro and perhaps some VBA programming) and prepare it to be cut/pasted or saved into a file or printed to the printer
