>Just another note on this. I overlooked the fact that, according to your message you're using FPW rather than FPD. I don't believe that FPW either needs or uses GENPD, it uses the Windows printer drivers. While what I wrote about the D: drive still applies, printer information wouldn't. There is, however, a way to change the default printer driver to Generic / Text Only in Windows. If this is the problem, please post a response.

George,

Thanks for you replies on this. Let me give you a little more info. We are running a FPW application which is very large. We have some legacy FPD reports, which it is my understanding require the GENPD drivers, as well as few areas where we are sending output directly out to the printer. The biggest concern is that because our application was originally a Dos app, there are calls to SET PDSETUP all over it, and to complicate matters, we actually have about a dozen different version of the software for different markets that we would have to go through thoroughly, followed by extensive testing. Rather than do all of that, we would really like to be able to figure out how to get whatever D reference there is out of genpd.app or foxuser.

Again, any suggestions you have are appreciated.

Thanks again,
Paul
