If you are creating a file to transfer data to another app, why don't you use the TextMerge capabilites instead of messing with print commands?

>As you can see, I access the file Newyellow.iif twice. The first time to empty it and the second time to add output. When this code is run in the FoxPro interactive mode it works fine, but when it is compiled into an application or if i specify a path for the file I get a printer not ready message, Anyone have any thoughts as to how I can correct this problem
