Hi guys,
Under Windows 95, sending a file to a network printer (generated by REPORT FORM ... TO FILE xxx) works fine. You do an APRINTERS(), then take the value in the second column ("\\FR_MON_BRITE\NETPRINTER" for example), load the file into a string with :
MyVar = FileToStr(xxx), and then do a =StrToFile("\\FR_MON_BRITE\NETPRINTER", MyVar). No problem. Now I've upgraded to NT 4, this doesn't work any more. And the KB article which "inspired" me to do this doesn't work on my system either (
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q190/7/69.ASP).
When I save a report on my system, having selected a network printer, and then open the report as a table, I find in the EXPR field :
DRIVER=winspool
DEVICE=\\FR_MON_BRITE\HP LaserJet 5Si MX - North Wing
OUTPUT=Ne01:
Printing to "Ne01:" doesn't do anything either. I'm really at my wits' end on this one. Does anyone have any ideas?
Best wishes,
Neil
