>I have an application where the user selects which reports they want and then select an output option: 1. Printer, 2. Screen, 3. File, 4. Fax. Selecting the option is one thing. Programming it is another. I had this all working fine under previous versions of DOS and Windows and previous versions of FoxPro. Now I have clients on VFP and Win95 or VFP and WinNT 4.0 and things aren't working anymore. The problem is that printer settings used to be stored in the WINI.INI file and where easily manipulated with a few freeware utilities. With 95 & NT, these routines don't work any more. Is there an easy way around this?

Look at the GETPRINTER() and releated functions.
