Colin,

GETPRINTER() shows the same behavior. However, it does show the new default printer as such when selected. I'm afraid I don't know of a workaround that'll work for sure. If I were to hazard a suggestion as to what I'd do under the situation, I'd begin by looking at the behavior of the Common Dialogs ActiveX control's ShowPrinter() method. I have a feeling that what we're seeing is Fox holding the reference to the original default printer and not changing it (the selection) when the default changes. This is a guess, however, and going "outside the Fox" to the ActiveX control, might do the trick.
