Rene,

Try the following.

Open each report and/or label as a table and remove the contents of the EXPR, TAG and TAG2 fields of the first record. (be sure to make a backup before you try this)..

Then the SET PRINTER TO (cPrintername) followed by a LABEL TO PRINT would work as espected.

Good luck,

BTW, your name sounds very dutch.... Have we spoken eachother before ???

Walter,

I am thinking of leaving the label printer as default printer and do a printer prompt for each other report, but it used to work before I left (clients in Canada, me now back in the UK), so what is going on? It is very frustrating. How does this work? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
