Runtime Reports - XP vs. WIN 98

[Randall_Warden_(Guest)]

Our FoxPro applications call R&R reports via the runtime (8.1). We have added XP machines to our network and now cannot print reports from them. The reports launch fine but we get the error message "Cannot match printer in control file" on XP machines. WIN 98 machines have no problem. How can we resolve this?____Randall

The values in RI_WPTR and RI_WPORT in your runtime control file need to match the printers that are actually available to the machine. Otherwise you will get the cannot match printer or port error.____Kathleen__R&R Support

We want to print to the printer saved with the report. The printers are named the same when installed on both XP and Win 98 machines. Why do we need to specify values for RI_WPTR and RI_WPORT?____Randall

You should not get the error unless there is an incorrect value in one of these fields. Make sure that they are both empty.____Kathleen__R&R Support
