We have very starnge situation
We have printer form which works for meny years in many our projects ( exe).
It permits to select printer , copies numbers, pages, to send report to the printer or screen, modify report etc
Two weeks ago one of our clients said , he can not to choose printer any more
He selects printer ( not default), click print and reports goes to the default printer on the net.
We deleted info about the printer from frx ( first record) and in this case program shows like it print reports ( small window with frx proccesing) and no printing anywhere.
The comand for printing is regular
set printer to name selectedprinter
report form ... noconsole to printer
To eliminate some unknown bugs in the form I came to client myself, temporaly installed VFP , used command window and tried to send report to selected printer by
set printer to getprinter()
report form ... noconsole to printer
And... same situation
I checked set('printer',3) and it has shown the right selected printer , not default one
The reports goes to default printer or to nowhere
All printers are at net computers, but just if printer is on your own computer
it is same situation
The only one thin was changed in this company, server computer has windows XP instead of 98.
I deinstalled VFP there and don't know , what to do now.
This form works ok for us, and for the rest of our clients.
Where could be the reason of this behaviour?
Thanks in advance , Vladimir
