Pete, I know all these things. I just want to point the attention to the weird thing I have found in the getprinter() dialog box.

>Drastvoetche Vlad,
>In my brand new VFP7, HELP shows GETPRINTER() is a function that gets the printer name, allows you to select a printer and change its fonts. It doesn't look a lot different than choosing FILE, PRINT or PRINT SETUP. This way you can do it programmatically.
>
>The other thing that my HELP shows is a SET PRINTER command that allows you to set some of the parameters for a printer such as bold, italic, font size. There is a PROMPT form that calls the print setup dialog box, also.

>HTH, Pete

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
