Larry,

I am running NT Server 4.0 and NT Workstation 4.0. My shared printer was named Network IIIp, but I changed it to HP3p and now it works! Thanks for the great suggestion.

Does this present a problem for me in distributing the application? It was easy for me to change the share name in my test environment, but would you handle this at client sites? Is this a limitation of the CopyFile API and is there another alternative to get around it?

Thanks again, I really appreciate your help.

Kind Regards,

Mat
