I have an unusual problem, that I am puzzled by.
I have some simple reports I created in the foxxpro report designer and I run them using a selection form that gives options. The form has color boxes that print depending on the data, so I want to be able to send it to the color laser on the network.

If I issue a Report Form umptysquat for record nrec to printer prompt nowait I get the select printer prompt and it all workd fine.

But if I leave out the prompt it goes to the windows default printer (not the color one) each and every time.

I am trying to make a set printer command button work by running cprinter = getprinter() and then doing a SET PRINTER TO NAME (cprinter). Then when I issue the report form command without the prompt it seems to ignore the set printer to command.

It gets worse. I can issue the set printer to name (cprinter) from the command window and it works. But the same comand in the click event of the print button on my form doesn't do it.

SET("PRINTER",2) returns the default windows printer, and
SET("PRINTER"),3) returns the default Foxpro printer. But it seems to always be defaulting to the windows printer and not the one I set with Foxpro.

Anyone seen this before and have any ideas.

Any help would be pperciated. TIA
