>Hi friends! Again with another question, I need to create a select printer dialog box (without using any VFP function) so I can have a default printer and let the user change it if he/she wants to. I would like to know how to get the Windows current printer using some Windows API function.

Luis,

The current default printer is stored in the HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Default key. Since you don't want to use a VFP function, you could use the Windows Script Host to retrieve this value.

oShell = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Shell")
lcdefaultprinter = oShell.RegRead("HKCC\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Default")

Naturally, you could also use the Registry class in the FFC to retrieve this via the API as well.
