>I have just completed migration of a FoxPro DOS application to FPW 2.6 (on the way to VFP migration). Everything works great with the exception of printer selection. The main invoice print program needs the ability to select three different printers during it's execution. This worked fine under DOS/Netware. With VFP and NT things are a mess. I've tried the following:
>
>1. NETLIB: This worked fine for about 3 weeks. Suddenly it doesn't work anymore. Wierd, but I can't find anything that has changed.
>
>2. DDE using Word to change the default printer. Works for 2 of 3 printers, but doesn't redirect the third report.
>
>3. Something called FPC which gives me error messages and whose support does not respond to my inquiries.
>
>I know I'm missing something basic here, but I've been struggling with this for months. Can anyone help?
