what you are looking for could be in multiple places: start in

opendental.ContrAccount PrintStatment() and follow it from there

opendental.FormRpStatement AssembleStatement() would be a possibility

there are others as well, but start here...

If you are in another country, they you should be looking in the language translation portion of the program.

But if you really are planning on altering the source code, beware that it will tend to lock you into the current version. The only way to update will be to make the same changes again and again, every time you want to upgrade.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies, I took a look at those methods but Im still a bit stuck :S.
My first step is to change the text reading "Statement" at the top to "Invoice", some more help in the right direction would be appreciated :)

Thanks,
