Isn't that registry entry the same as what you get back from SET("PRINTER",2)? Or does it change if you do a SET PRINTER TO NAME xxxx ?

I could wip up my own dialog box, but I really need access to all the settings/pages/landscape etc that the Setup Printer dialog brings up.

Another alternative is I guess I could use the Common Dialog OCX and access the printer stuff that way. I'm not sure if even THAT does what I need it to do or not. Thanks anyways, Ken.
