>>Well, that's pretty judgemental, Dorris. Let me offer a different opinion. I know of no other Windows apps where I have to have a separate interface to pick the printer. It's done via a std. Windows interface. That's one reason it's there. When I choose to print to a certain printer, the next time I print the program will usually reselect that printer and that's usually correct. I feel this is std. Windows behavior and I'd like to have my programs behave in this way instead of differently. I'm not try to cede control - I'm trying to get VFP or Windows to tell me what the user did so that I can understand it and make my program work in a more seamless fashion. Perhaps you don't agree with that, but that's what I think should be done.

Thanks for the vote. <g>
