i'm needing to print textboxes,with shaded backgrounds (different color on the Backcolor prop)  i cant get the backcolor to print, i only get the text.  PLEASE could anyone help?   

okay...

tell me the settings of your form and text box.

why? i just tried to print a form with a textbox in it, and it worked. i got to print the gray background of the text box.

the form's autoredraw property = true

try it or post back. we'll try to help you if this doesn't work.

Been busy trying to take a second degree <--it's not working out...

Sorry for being so long getting back...I dont mean PrintForm...I have a picturebox on a form...like a sheet of paper with textboxes placed on it.  The textboxes display info generated by my program...like a form.  PrintForm prints text really crappie, so i've been trying to print with the PrintObject.  But you cant print controls with the PrintObject.  So i've resorted to re-creating all of my "page's" shapes, textboxes etc. with graphics methods.  Needless to say, this is fairly time consuming.  I've managed to write a function that will re-create all of this, but i was wondering if there was a way to print my Picturebox that has all of those controls aready placed onto it.  The Picturebox.Picture = Picturebox.Image doesnt show controls, only graphics created with graphics methods...no controls.  Any ideas?

               Thanks for your previous reply.
