Hi george! I read that you recommend showprinter, How I declare and how I use it? Best regards, Roberto

>>I've been trying to work out how I can select a printer other than the default printer in our applications so our users can actually hit the print button and the Windows printer dialogue screen shows so they can choose a printer & its properties for their reports.

>>Thanks in anticipation
