Please help if you can!!!!!  I've come across a number of problems recently wh
Visual Basic 3.  I wondered if anyone else out there has come across the same 
best to tackle it.  Here goes:-                                               
                                                                              
** PROBLEMS WITH VISUAL BASIC VER 3.0 **                                      
                                                                              
PROBLEM ONE                                                                   
Problem : When running a program under windows 95 and printing, some of the sh
          grey turn to black, and some of the lines drawn increase their width
          when a fixed length string is printed with nothing in it Win 95 seem
          small squares (How many sqaures depends on the length of your string
          I have drawn some boxes in my application and when they are printed 
          they seem to be split into two ? (Very Strange And Only On Some).   
Details : The source code has been compiled under windows 3.1 and then run und
          windows 95 to print, the problem above appears. So I compiled the so
          under windows 95 and then printed, the above problem is still there.
                                                                              
PROBLEM TWO                                                                   
Problem : When using the printer object how on earth do you print in duplex, I
          this if I change the printer manager, but this will only allow me to
          document using short edge binding or long edge binding, I need to be
          change from one to the other half way through printing my document. 
          a windows API function but this does not seem to work, also when I s
          escape code to change from landscape to portrait do you always have 
          printer.EndDoc to flush it, because it always gives me a blank page 
Details : What I am trying to do here is print 10 pages all in duplex, the fir
          in portrait using long edge binding and the second 5 in landscape us
          short edge binding, So as you can see I need to be able to change fr
          to the other (This Really Needs To Be Sent As One Document).        
                                                                              
PROBLEM THREE                                                                 
Problem : When sending documents to the printer manager on another pc, this so
          causes the printer manager to hang. It looks like the more files you
          most likely it is to hang but sending the same amount of data in hal
          documents does not seem to hang as much, is there a limit on how man
          you can send to a printer manager? does sending it across a network 
          difference.                                                         
                                                                              
 Many Thanks for your time
