Hi guys,

I have an exe printing a report as follows:
use sysfile
set printer to name (alltr(sysfile.printer2)) && sysfile.printer2="PDF PRINTER"
report form rptinvoice.frx to printer noconsole nodialog
and among my installed printers, I've got:
printer 1: HP LASER(marked as the default)
printer 2: PDF PRINTER(is the printer in sysfile.printer2 field)
The problem is that the output keeps going to the defaut printer which is HP LASER.
If I set printer 2 as the default printer then it works. It would appear that VFP is ignoring the SET PRINTER TO NAME command.

Any pointer will be greatly appreciated!

TIA
Dawa Tsering
