Greetings All,

This is a strange one. I have a VFP 3.0 app and several Foxpro for Windows 2.6 apps on our store PC's. We are in the process of testing these under certain conditions. I am having printer issues where the store apps do not recognize a printer being available when it is. I get "printer not ready" errors. But if I were to go into something like Excel or Word and print, each of those prints. Then, when I return back to my custom apps printing is now OK.

I also have another issue on the faster of the 2 testing pc's. When I select one of the FPW 2.6 apps, I get the error "Foxprow - An error has occurred in your program. To keep working anyway, click ignore and save your work. To quit, click close. You wil lose info blah blah blah." But if I click ignore, the app actually does fire up and works OK except for the printer issue.

PC 1: Pentium II, 350(mhz) - 100(bus) Windows 95 workstation,
window NT server

PC 2: Pentium 166, Windows 95 workstation, windows NT server.
PC 2 always has the printer issue, but hasn't had the Foxprow error.

I don't believe this to be a foxpro issue because the apps work on my pc.

Each of the store apps is kicked off via a VFP 3.0 app which ID's the user and allows them to select a default printer. All the above problems occur when the store apps are started either with or without my vfp app.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Scott
