>Can anyone tell me how I can change the default printer selection in VFP using Windows API commands? I'm using a 3rd party graphing package (Graphics Server 5.8), and when printing a graph the default printer is always used. I've tried the FoxPro command SET PRINTER TO NAME GETPRINTER( ), but this doesn't seem to send the user-selected printer info when outputing with this graphing package.

The easiest solution is to use the Windows Script Host's SetDefaultPrinter method:

cCurrentPrinter = SET('PRINTER',2)
oWSHNet = CREATEOBJ('Wscript.Network')
oWSHNet.SetDefaultPrinter("MyWindowsPrinterName")
*
* Do your stuff
*
oWSHNet.SetDefaultPrinter(cCurrentPrinter)

Obviously, you need the WSH version 2.0 or later installed.
