>>>Hi
>>>
>>>I am trying to give the user to select an appropriate printer near him (there are about 5 dotted over 2 offices)
>>>
>>>My VFP code to run a report is as follows:-
>>>
>>>myreportx="t:\global\docketdoki.frx"
>>>report FORM (myreportx) TO PRINTER prompt noconsole
>>>
>>>I get the prompt and select the printer but it prints on the wrong printer - if I go into page setup in the report and change the printer to the one I want I get that - but then I can't select another printer at the prompt
>>>
>>>Why doesn't the prompt allow me to select another printer? is it because page setup is showing a printer - if so how do I get rid of it?
>>>
>>>Thanks
>>>

>>Remove the printer info from the report. In VFP 6 you could do:
>>1. Open report as a table
>>2. go to first record
>>3. Clear contents of these fields: Tag, TAG2
>>4. In Expr field leave only these lines:
>>ORIENTATION=xxxxxx
>>PAPERSIZE=xxxxxxx
>>COLOR=xxxxx
>>
>>
>>Here in download section there are some utilities that could automate this for you. Unfortunately I can't remember them. When I find them I'll send you a link.

>DRIVER=winspool

VFP9 leaves only these 3 I mentioned when I didn't save Printer Environment in report. But if you want you could leave everything except DRIVER, DEVICE and OUTPUT rows.
