>>We are using vfp6 on an NT network and have been unable to get the SET PRINTER TO command to work for us. We have tried filling an array with printer names using the APRINTER() command and then using the SET PRINTER TO NAME command with one of the pritners in the array. We get no functional change. The printer still prints to the default printer. Is there a trick to this that we are missing?
