R&R does save the printer name with the report. When the report is then moved to another machine, R&R will indeed attempt to use the saved printer and if it is not found, would then default to the user^s saved printer.____Starting with Version 10, you can override the use of the saved printer by adding the line:__PRINTER=__to the Defaults section of your RRW.INI/RSW.INI____This value can be set to the word Default (PRINTER=DEFAULT) or can be __set to an explicit printer (PRINTER=HP4050 PS)____Kathleen__R&R Support

Hi Kathleen,__thanks for your answer, does this work also with__a runtime folder? We have installed R&R once on the__computer of the system andmin, ther is a rrw.ini__in the programm directory. The other users work__with the rrwrun.exe in the runtime direcory on the__network.____Jürg

In your runtime control file you can set RI_PRINTER=DEFAULT.____Kathleen__R&R Support

High Kathleen,__sorry, i think you missunderstand my question (my bad english)__we work with the DLL-Call "SetPrinter" and set the name__of the printer where we would like to print. But this only work__if the printer witch is saved with the report does not exist!__If the printer exist everybody print to this one! So i think__in this case the printer witch was saved with the report is__"stronger" as the "SetPrinter" DLL-Call...__So how can i desable the Printer witch was saved with the __Report? Like the PRINTER= but i our runtime enviroment?____Or can i copy the rrw.ini to the runtime directory?____Jürg__

You can indeed copy RRW.INI to the runtime directory.____Kathleen__R&R Support
