Yea, this would normally be a bad idea, except that this is a public access computer accessing only this application.

>>I am trying to disable all printing from a visual fox 5.0 app. The program takes the users to Win Explorer/Adobe to read a pdf file and I don't want selected users to be able to print. Is there a way from inside a vfp app to set printer to a bogus printer? or some other way to turn all printing off until I say to turn it on again?

>On a multi-tasking system that may be doing something else this sounds like an exceptionally bad idea. If I couldn't print from Word while I had your app running I'd be royally annoyed.
