Charlie,

I did the following from the command window and it seemed to work

oDlg = CREATEOBJECT("MSComDlg.CommonDialog.1")
oDlg.Flags = 0x100
oDlg.ShowPrinter
? oDlg.hDC && 6986

The difference is that I set the .Flags property prior to calling the ShowPrinter method. When I do as you did (setting it after the call), it returns zero.
