Hello Aashish
Thanks for answer
I did yor offer number 1, it did not help
What I did more
At combo at print form , wich select printer from available list I added after line set printer to name (this.displayvalue)
the line=
=sys(1037)
For us and rest of clients it ok, but for this client with described problem it said error on =sys(1037)-I could not load info about printers, later nevertheless has show printer dialog box, and instead of selected printer printed at default printer!!!
Vladimir
