Thanks Steve. Yes, that is a viable alternative, and I've found that users vary rarely print only some of the pages. The only reason for prompting for the printer is this report goes to two different printers based on the department (laser for single sheets and dot-matrix for two-part carbonless paper).

Now if VFP could tell the Windoze print dialog to disallow the printing of only 'some' pages..... then this camper would be happy.

Meanwhile, I'm going to look into ways of picking the printer from within VFP rather than doing the TO PRINT PROMPT thing.
