When printing from a FoxPro 6.0 app to an Acrobat Distiller 5.05 dialog, the FoxPro path is lost during the Distiller Dialog. When returning to the calling app, a cannot find file name dialog appears. This occuring under Win 2000.

Hi Garry,

I've been faced with the same issue using Adobe Acrobat Writer and now make it a habit to reset the default whenever a report is run. Issuing a SET DEFAULT TO (goApp.cAppDir) has always worked for me.

Additionally I've found that if a user Cancels out of the Save PDF File As dialog, there will be a Program Error: Error loading print driver. Have you experienced that as well? I've gotten around it by just trapping the error (Try/Catch now with VFP8), but it was an annoyance.
