Thanks, I'll try it.

>If the value (Default as opposed to (Default))doesn't exist in the key in the registry (as it does, apparently, in both our cases, since I get an error as well), it gets a bit tougher just finding the printer names, let alone the default. Unfortunately, under Win2K, the information is no longer in Win.Ini...or so it looks. The code below utilizes my IniFiles object (which is available in the UT download section). Since I just tried this, I know it works.

SET PROCEDURE TO IniFiles ADDITIVE
>oIni = CREATEOBJECT("Ini_Files")
>? oIni.GetIniEntry("WINDOWS", "DEVICE")

Now even though there's no such entry in my WIN.INI file, it returned the proper value. Further, since the printer driver's file name was also stored in WIN.INI, it wouldn't surprise me if you could get that as well using a similar call.
