You are probably right that I need to rethink how it will print. In VFP I have a small app running 24/7 and when it "sees" a new record it prints the order. The VFP app has a timer that check every so-many minutes for new order. I want to replace the VFP app with something more stable.
Thank you for the suggestion.
>It's a web app. You want to think differently than in VFP. You shouldn't fire off anything like that as it can severely slow down the response. You need a scheduled task to do the printing.
