Nancy/Doug,

sorry - I didn't phrase my follow-up question very well.

I have no problem getting the common dialog contol on a form, calling show printer, setting flags etc.

However, when I call ShowPrinter() and the dialog comes up - alas - no collate checkbox at all! Now - my printer does not support collation, so I thought that might be the problem, and am sending a test exe to someone to check, but if that is the case - why does the collate checkbox show up normally with "Report Form Prompt" (albeit disabled) but not with the common dialog?

Thanks!
Ken
