In a previous version of an application I'm working on, the programmer setup an Orders printer, which could either be a local printer or a network printer.

The application would then print to the respective printer either network or local depending on how that machine was setup. There is no code in the applicatin that points to a specific printer.

This also needs to work on both XP and Windows 98.

I tried using the frx and clearing out the Expr and then setting a printer to that report. It stores the name of the server and the Orders printer DEVICE=\\< Server >\Orders

This works great for the network printer and even the local printer in 98 but does not work for the local printer in XP.

Has anyone run into this kind of problem?

Is there a simple solution to this problem?
