we created medical HCFA billing forms to call data from access database. We
were able to print the form in mdi and pdf files. But clearinghouse wants
text files.

How to convert or interface the form into text files without loosing the
layout, spacing, and format.

Thanks for your input.
 
Instead of trying to output the forms, use a query to return the data you
need to export, then export the query. What this does is run the query and
send the results out.

You can specify the output format when you export...

I a not sure exactly what you want.

Remember that spacing on displayed or printed text files depends on
the font and text files have no font information so if someone were to look
at your text file displayed or printed in say Courier and you had used Times
Roman the are not going to look alike.
