I presume your network printers have UNC designations (i.e. they start with \\). Unfortunately a backslash in the first position of a Combo box (along with a number of other Windows controls), indicates that this selection is to appear disabled and the character disappears. You'll just need to add a space to the front of each entry in the APRINTERS() array - first column, and then remember to strip it off when you go to use it.

>I am attempting to list the installed printers in a combo box on a FoxPro form. I create the list of printers by calling the APRINTERS() command. The problem I am having is that the list shows all installed printers, but only the local ones can be selected, the networked printers cannot be selected. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
