I need help modifying a receipt

Hi,

I could use some help modiftying a custom receipt. Now that the month has 2 digits the year is no longer visible. I tried changing the font size first but in order to get the date to print out its length it gets too small to easily read. We don't need the time to print on the reciept so I removed that from the rows that it appears on and made the row only for the date. Now the time is gone (OK) but the date field is still cut off (bad).

Can anyone lend a hand? I am not sure about what I am missing.

Thanks,

The row origanally read: "Date: " Transaction.Date "|Time: " Transaction.Time

It now reads: "Date: " Transaction.Date

Just a guess, but try changing it from:

"Date: " Transaction.Date "|Time: " Transaction.Time

to: "Date: " Transaction.Date "|"

This should just get rid of the time, and leave the date where it was. (note the "|", which designates a new column in the row, like a tab character) It's difficult to be sure if this will work without seeing the whole receipt file, though.

Oh, wait, I read it backwards. I had it in my head that the time was getting cut off, not the date. If you remove some of the empty spaces between Date: and " (make the line: "Date:" Transaction.Date ), does more of the date show up? If it does, then you probably have the first column of that table a little too narrow, which will chop the date off.
