Thanks a lot for your tests. I have Adobe 6 at work and the first sample did not work for me. I'll re-test from home.

UPDATE. I tried to test from home: no printer installed, Adobe 7, VFP8 SP1. First version run in 63 sec. (but I have to close Cancel from printer dialog), second displayed the same dialog quickly, then just was waiting forever, so I terminated it.

I think 60 seconds in unacceptable speed for the process, so after tomorrow I re-try from work all the processes + Tracy's code, I may need to come up with another solution.
