I am getting a bit confused. I loaded another project which does not use FP but when I trie to call the print report-code it loaded FP. I restart the pc and tried again it it still loads FP. I haven't got a clue why this happens.. I then issued a "set reportbehaviour 80" and now it loads the original report preview from VFP. There I can choose the printer with the quotation marks in its name and everything works. By the way , in the options settings "Set Reportbehaviour 80" is the defaukt setting.
