>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:

Since it wants the default, reset the default printer in the WIN.INI file. There's a class in the download section that will take care of the details, including informing VFP to reload the section so that it take effect.
