>Is there any way of obtaining the windows default printer name and also setting the default printer without using GetProfileString() - I would prefer to avoid INI files. I have obtained the printer details via APRINTER() but just need to be able to set default, do my printing, then set back again. Any ideas?

--- IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN - I FOUND IT STRAIGHT AWAY ---

cDefaultPrinter=SET("PRINTER",2) -returns the current printer name.
SET PRINTER TO NAME cDefaultPrinter -reverts back after my changes.
