>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.

I always store this sort of thing in the registry. You can create your own tree under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE and put machine specific info in there.
