Hi,

I have a routine in the program where the application prints a page of VFP report then it should print a page of PDF file; then another VFP report and another PDF, and so on. The PDF is printed with the following
shellexecute(0, "print", "filename.pdf", "", "", .F. )
The problem is that even though in the debugger the order of printing is correct (VFP report, ShellExecute of PDF, VFP report, ShellExecute..) all PDF are printed at the end. That is, the VFP reports are printed first, and then PDFs. If I put a SET STEP ON and stop the program after the first ShellExecute, the PDF seems to be printing right after the first VFP. What makes all PDFs to go to the end of the printing?

TIA.
