>My application allows users to specify which printer they want to use for certain reports. ex: Schedules print to one printer and postcards to another printer. Right now I store the Name of the printer in a table and issue SET PRINT TO NAME myPrinter to get the right printer. The problem arises when one user calls the printer OKI and another calls it OKIDATA. Is there a better way to identify these printers? I am going to add a user login with user specific settings, but this is more machine specific. Should I have a separate DBF on each machine that stores machine specific items like printer names? Thanks for your input.

You coulg use GETPRINTER() to get the printer name, make the user select one from the list and store this in your table.
