Seems like a strange story. Some points to look after though,
- Ensure yourselft that the printerinformation is stipped from the reports (Blank the EXPR, TAG and TAG field of the first record of the report)
- How do you select another printer than the default ? Just by setting SET PRINTER TO NAME ? or REPORT FORM ... TO PRINTER PROMPT ?
- Do SET PRINTER TO NAME and REPORT FORM TO PRINTER PROMPT result in the same problem ?
- Can you print to the non-default printer via other applications (like word) ?
Good luck,
Walter,
