>Can some one tell me the best way to call the Windows printer setup dialog box from within VFP 5.0? My user base would prefer to switch printer settings from within VFP application, rather than through Windows itself. We have a function where we "stack" report requests, and don't want to be interupted by each report bringing up the print dialog box - thus the user wants to change printers prior to printing the "stack". Unfortunately, they are too lazy to just do it with a few clicks from outside the VFP application. ;)

Hi Jere,

Why not use the Common Dialogs ActiveX control's ShowPrinter method? It produces a standard Windows setup dialog.
