Kimberley,
If you know the name of the printer, just use the SET PRINTER TO xxx command before calling the report.

Be sure you clear all default information out of the Report FRX file. To do this, USE the report file (USE MyReport.frx) and browse it. In the first record, empty the TAG and TAG2 fields. Open the EXPR field and delete any lines that are printer specific. Leave lines that affect orientation, # of copies, etc. If this information is left in the FRX it will override other code.

>Is there a way to route the output of a report to another printer besides the windows default or the one in the page setup. I would like to have a system config table that is for each user with a field for there printer names (default, tally, kardex, etc.), and send the report to the printer in that users tally field.
