>I am running into a problem with a distributed accounting application we have written when I run it on NT. In a few places in our code, we send things directly to a printer without using the windows print system. The code is fairly old, and works well under 3.1, 95, 98, but crashes on NT. Here is the code involved:

>SET RESOURCE ON
>SET RESOURCE TO \BPA\FOXUSER
>SET PDSETUP TO "Generic"
>SET CONSOLE ON && View report while it prints
>SET PRINT ON
>SET PRINT TO C:\LPT1
>

NT wouldn't like that line; if you're trying to send to LPT1, try

SET PRINT TO LPT1

instead. If you're trying to send print to a file, use a name that doesn't correspond to a port device (ie COMn, LPTn, STDIN, STDOUT, etc.)

>When the code reaches the SET PRINT TO C:\LPT1 line, Windows NT gives me a resource error and closes the application. If we don't use the PDSETUP, the code doesn't seem to actually get anything out to the printer, even using ???. Does anyone have a suggestion or solution?
