>>>Actually what I am doing is to have the user select the printer, paper size, and orentation and then saving this information to memory variables. I'm not running the Report Form but only using it to gather the information that is stored there by VFP in Expr, TAG and TAG2.

Ed,

No, there is an ActiveX control that comes with VFP6 for Common Dialogs. One of those is the Printer settings. Microsoft Common Dialog Control, version 6.0. Make sure it's activated under Tools/Options/Controls and the ActiveX controls radio button is selected and that control is checked.
