Edward,
I wanted to let you know, I found a solution to this annoying problem, and maybe this should be added to the frequently asked files...

The reason my SET PRINTER wasn't working was because I need quotes, like this:

lcPrinter=GETPRINTER()
SET PRINTER TO NAME "&lcPrinter" &&right here!! Macro sub INBETWEEN quotes!!
REPORT FORM form TO PRINTER

The above works like a charm!! I found this in a post from a couple months back, finally!!:D I'm going to see if I can't add this solution to the FAQ section, I'm not currently a member, so I probably won't be able to...if I can't(you don't see it there today), PLEASE someone put it there, I've looked thru more posts on this one subject than anything else, and not many real fixes are out there, just one every few months...:|

In any case, thanks for your help and suggestions, I've learned alot, and I hope maybe this will help others too.
