Cathy,

I'm having a strange problem. I'm using
REPORT FORM somereport NOEJECT NOCONSOLE TO PRINTER PROMPT
Tag, Tag2 have been cleared, expr contains 'DRIVER=winspool ... ORIENTATION=0'

The strange thing is that when I run the report in development mode, I can direct the output to another printer

In runtime however, the customer's output always goes to his default windows printer, whatever printer he selects in the PROMPT popup
I could not believe it. Have seen it via pcanywhere, have done it myself via TerminalServer (put two printers into pause printing and watch bot the queues)

I've spent most of the day on this

If I do
set printer to name NotTheWindowsDefaultPrinter
after that (have not fully tested this) he can print to the printer selected in the PROMPT

Does that ring any bell ? (vfp6sp5)
