I'm sure we've all had those "in depth replies" that somehow never made it as a post. I know I sure have< g >.
>In short, I did read your earlier comments, and I agree with you completely. I have been trying to get at the info for informational reasons only (it gave me an excuse to start playing with the struct class) :).
I don't think of the stuff I've done with the API in any sort of a different light than the stuff I do with nothing but VFP. In the long run, I end up learning more about Windows and how it operates. That's helps me run down problems and overall produce better applications.
>Personally, I still think the best solution (if possible) is to rework the design so as not to have to rely on the printer's status.
Oh yes. Agree 100%
>I had thought the thread was dead, but when it started up again I just thought I'd throw out what I had.

I've said before that the exchange of information and ideas is always beneficial.:-)
