SET PRINTER TO file....why don'twork in VFP 8.0?

[cruicu]

I want to print some reports in same file using commands:
set printer to myfile additive
...create report
report form myfile to printer .

But this not work corect.
The command "report form myfile to printer" sens outputs only to printer not to myfile.
I don't know what's the matter?
Can somebody help me?
thanks.

In command help says that "set printer to" does not function in unattended server mode.
What is this?...Is this my problem?

report form myfile to printer

If you need to send it to a file, why are you sending it to the printer?
Try this format:

SET PRINTER TO c:\myFile.txt additive
REPORT FORM c:\windows\temp\myReport.frx TO myFile.txt ASCII
