Ignore this, moments after posting I went into the frx and cleared the Tag and Tag2 fields.
Guess what, It worked :)

End Update....



Hi all,

I have a strange occurance happening, I am currently in VFP 6, I have not looked at it in 7 as of yet.

We do some printing to PDF files using the Ayumni (sp?) PDF Drivers.
But it seems to quite frequently print to the wrong printer.

I have 3 printers installed at this point
OfficeJet
LaserJet
PDF (created by Ayumni at runtime)

OfficeJet is set to default, and before starting the app SET("Printer",3) returns OfficeJet.

an exmaple of some code from the command window at run time just before printing.
This is after having issued SET PRINTER TO NAME "blah" and all that.
?SET("Printer",3)
=> PDF
?SET("Printer",2)
=> OfficeJet
sys(1037)
=> Default selected is PDF
report form (this.cFrx) to printer prompt noconsole
=> Default selected is LaserJet
=> Prints to LaserJet
I have Done APRINTERS() and all the printers appear in there fine, and if I have 'prompt' in the print command and selected the PDF file, it prints to that.

Any ideas?
