Using the SETPRNTR() function you DO NOT need to delete the EXPR and TAG/TAG2 fields for the correct printer to work. What happens to your formatting in the report is another story.

SETPRNTR() just sets the default printer in WIN.INI and broadcasts this info to all open apps. VFP just prints to the default printer.Every time!

Have been using this piece of code for years with no probs.

Also you could just copy the string of the printer name from the printer (START/SETTINGS/PRINTERS window and pass this to SETPRNTR() and it works.

I have clients who use 3 different printers for different circumstances/located at different places and the reports are pumped out without user intervention every time.
