George et al,

hmmmmmmm - it sounds like (from Jeff's post) like maybe it actually works, but doesn't show the checkbox. I had created a test exe with one form that set the flags and called showprinter() - and, alas - still no collate checkbox. And this is on a printer that definitely collates from Excell (so says client). I did NOT actually have them print from my test app - just assumed if collate checkbox wasn't there, it wasn't working. But that MAY not be the case eh?

Thanks,
Ken

>>>Thanks Jeff. Ken, I'll research further. I think that something's missing here, but can't think what it could be. I'm almost positive that I've been able to create that dialog with a collate box. Of course, it could just be the mileage catching up to me< g >.
