>>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. ;)

Thanks for the reply George. As I am somewhat new to the VFP world, I'm not sure I know what Common Dialog's is. Is it a third-party class library or package of active x controls? If so, we are attempting to not rely on any third-party products in my client's application. Any other thoughts? Any "freeware" active x controls I could download and maintain myself??

Being an old Georgia boy myself (born in Atlanta and raised in Marietta. Dad worked for Lockheed), I can appreciate the bullet you folks just dodged in Hurricane Floyd. We're actually expecting it to hit New England (RI and Mass.) as a minor, Category 1 hurricane here tonight.
