>But somewhere in my program this has generate a windows error. From then on the "type 'c:\something.txt'" wont work anymore. The only thing the command does is putting an output to the main vfp window. It is like vpf doesnt find the printer anymore. Sometimes i have a printerspool error. But only when i use the type command. everywhere else the printer works well.

Instead of type to printer, perhaps you might try the "???" command to send information to the printer.

Perhaps I am wrong, but type to printer seems to me more like a residue from the DOS age.
