Thank you for responding to my question. Through the help I have received so far, I am able to do just as you suggested.

However, (there is always a however) is there a way to deal with having the same printer NAME associated with different printing destinations (LPT1, LPT2, etc ...) ? I ran into that situation at the company where I work. In that event, SET PRINTER TO NAME xxx allows VFP to select the first one it finds.
