A good workaround is to use "DEFAULT" as the printer name in the ri_wptr field. That way windows handles the printer and the user can change printers just by clicking on start/settings/printers and set the default printer.____We use the dbf control file with thousands of seats and have not...

Conrad,____I think the solution is to run the foxpro front end first and have it build a set of temporary files which have key data to relate back into your regular VFP files.
