I have encountered this situation. I'm willing to bet that the printer is a network printer and that the share name has a space in it, so the array returned by APRINTER() looks like this, assuming that the printer "Laser Printer" is shared under "\\Server\Laser Printer":

Laser Printer   \\Server\Laser
Laser Printer   Printer

APRINTER() seems to have problems with spaces in share names. At least that's what it does in VFP5.0 French.

I have not found a way to prevent this behavior (other than to remove the space in the share name). One could always revise the returned array programmatically. However, I suggest using GETPRINTER() instead, and store the result. I must admin that I'd rather have a nice combobox with all the printers, but...

Hope this helps!
