>How would I go about saving a default printer for each report in VFP5a(without prompting on every print)? I have an exe residing on a network drive that many different users will be running on different PC's. My reports are in private datasessions. I have tried using the sys() function to set default then use set('Printer',2) to store the value, but they are different.
>Basically, what is the best way to have it allow a user to select where each report is to print to once and not have to bother with it again.(And allow a different user to have different defaults)

If all your printers are of the same (compatible) type, you could implement following:
1. Your main app will actually REPORT FORM to FILE ... , creating these files in spearate folders (one for each printer).
2. Another small server app will work on background checking for files and COPY FILE to particular printer (depending on folder).
3. Each user will store/retrieve default folder paths in local config table.
