Jim,

GETPRINTER() returns the name of the user selected printer. When used along with the APRINTERS() function you have the name and the port.

The Common Dialogs ActiveX control allows you finer control over the dialog that appears, and additional values that the user can set via the dialog and can be returned to the caller.

The best way to become acquainted with it is go to the Controls tab of the dialog that appears when Tools/Options... is selected from the main VFP menu. In the list box, make sure that "Microsoft Common Dialog Control..." is checked. Then create a new form, select ActiveX Controls from the View Classes button, click and drop the control on the form. Then click the control to select it, and then right click to get the context menu for it. Select Help from the context menu and you'll have more information than I can provide here.

Naturally, if you have questions, create a new post with the question.
