I've got a client that won't upgrade their app to 2.6 and we've needed to access the Windows Printer dialog. I utilized some code that I have found using FOXTOOLS using GETPROFILESTRING and WRITEPROFILESTRING, but fairly often they get memory overflow errors. We are also seeing this on multiple machines in our office as well. Has anyone written a "good" printer dialog box for FPW? I also have a need for this in FPW 2.6 unless someone knows of a way to override the selected printer from SYS(1037). I have an application that pre-selects several printers for different reports. If you use SYS(1037) and they select a different printer from default, that printer overrides any printer set in Windows, so the automatic switching of printers within the reporting won't work. It all goes to the last selected printer. This is an aggravating "feature" of FPW. If anyone has any thoughts, I would very much appreciate the ideas. I don't have a lot of hair left to pull out! <g>
