Printer problem 1

[JNC73]

Hello,

I have a problem with printing a report on a network printer. When I built my app somewhere in my code (i don't know where) there must be a reference to my network printer. Everybody who uses the program is printing on my printer in stead of the default printer installed on the computer of the user.

Can anyone tell me how this is possible and how I can solve it?

Thnx,

JNC73

The reference is in the report itself. Follow the instructions shown in faq184-581. Mike Gagnon

BTW - isn't this going to be addressed in VFP8? Geoffrey A. Winkworth

Geoffrey,
Yes, there is a default setting for all new reports where you can set the "Save Printer Environment" value, or on each report you can turn the report environment on or off.

Thnx Mike,

The code helped me to understand what caused it and what I had to do to solve the problem in VFP5. The code itself didn't work in VFP5.

I just had this same problem. I think to wipes out three fields in the report file. I did run into a problem with it because My report should have been landscape and it made it took that away. I just wiped out the tag and tag2 fields and removed the printer line in the expr field and this solved it all for me.
