I do not know if three is any difference between the IDE an runtime. I would not expect there to be. I actually recompiled the application on the machine and it still failed to print. I;m sure I installed SP5 but will recheck to be sure.

I run on the box with admin rights and printer is set up in Vista to allow anyone to print. However, when I get a chance, I can try turning UAC off and see what happens.

>>Well, I didn't have a lot of time to try this out, but some interesting results. The application will not send reports to the printer via REPORT FORM ... TO PRINTER, or REPORT FORM ... PREVIEW. But I was able to open a text file in the VFP IDE and print it. I was also able to quickly cobble together a simplified version of the REPORT FORM, execute it from a .PRG in the IDE and the report went to the printer. No idea why this report would print from the .PRG run from the IDE but the application REPORT FORM will not print.
