Interesting discovery. We use a small launcher program (taapp.exe 34kb) to call the main program. Just by chance we renamed the launcher program adding a "1" to the name (i.e. - taapp.exe to taapp1.exe) and the issue of not finding the printers is corrected. Any suggestions on what is causing the problem.

Thanks again.

>>I have an application that has been running this piece of code for several years on several hundred workstations, but today on one workstation the APRINTERS() function returns no printers. Likewise if one modifies a report and tries to select a printer it reports No Printers. There are printers installed locally and networked and if I use a command line VFP program it sees the printers.
