Randy,

I had not seen that article but I will look into it. This sounds like it could be a possibility. Thanks

Bud

>>This one was a problem with a HP Laserjet5 printer driver. Note that the reports didn't have to be printed, but with that printer selected as the default and one of the getprinter() functions used, the system would hang...but only later, not right away. It was like the driver was slowly eating resources until the computer ran out of patience (divide by zero or infinite loop???).

>>I have read of people having a similar problem in vfp5.0 (with laserjet6 drivers also). Funny it didn't show up for us until the switch to vfp6.

>>The solution(so far so good) was to change to a laserjet4 driver. I wish that HP would resolve these driver problems ..i'm gonna start asking people what kind of printers they have before i price their work.
