Ok, but I guess basically I am right here: it needs refurbishing the whole thing, not only a few parts. That's what I wanted to know before I start into any direction. Yes, your example will help a lot here :-) My "printing engine" I developed for my students database uses printing forms which function like HTML blended with some simple commands. It will take some re-organizing the stuff because the new way of printing in GB3 wants a different order. If there was a way to spare that work... But at least I can leave the preview functions (Form Editor and Printing Preview) as they are because they use Draw. I have a second project now where this engine could be of help, but it will have to be adapted to it anyway. So I will try that first and take back the result to the database project when it's running on the new one.
