Hi,

I have an application that prints a number of letters at a time for records in a table. I print these on special headed paper. The problem is that each letter is a separate print job as I'm using REPORT FORM blah blah NEXT 1 TO PRINTER. Other people in the office can then print in between one of my print jobs onto my headed paper. Is there a way of locking the printer and then unlocking when my all my print jobs are finished.


Is it possible first to prepare a cursor with all letters that You want to print and after that to print that cursor?
Other way is IF You use VFP 8 to use REPORT FORM .... TO PRINTER NOPAGEEJECT. Only last report must be w/o NOPAGEEJECT
