Hi again, Gang!

Here is a snippet of code in an executable, called LDM.exe.

lcExe = "SpoolZebra.Exe"
lcPrinter = SET("PRINTER",2)
lcDefaultLoc = SYS(5) + SYS(2003) + "\"
lcFileName = "/" + lcFileName + "/"
ShellExecute(0,"open",lcExe,lcFileName + lcPrinter,lcDefaultLoc,2)

When run in VFP8 SP1, the ShellExecute opens the program SpoolZebra.exe and minimizes it immediately to the taskbar and runs it (prints a document).

When run in VFP9 SP2, it minimizes, then pops back up to Normal size and prints the document. (BAD BAD BAD !!! That interfers with the normal program flow.).

--------------------------------

I changed the 2 to a 7 in the ShellExecute to see if it would stay minimized.

It did, but it DID NOT PRINT !! Weird !! Why would it not print in this case???

---------------------------------

So, bascially, we want it to stay minimized, yet print the document.

So, any ideas what is going wrong here?

Thanks everyone!!!
