The only way I could 'really' get seperate printers to work
was to do the APRINTERS() thing along with a INI read. I set
the Printer name to the task, read it on startup & then assign
it.

IE:

if type('gcCheckPrinter') # 'C'
=readprinterini()
endif

The reason I check the var is mainly for development work. I
put the routine in the Load of the base form -- this way I can
run a single copy of a form instead of running the entire app
just to test one form.

Now the global var has the name of the Check Printer & I can
use it anywhere.

Hope this helps,
Tom
