selecting printers

#1

How do I allow the user to set the default printer. I have code that sends
a report directly to the printer so they need to be able to choose a printer
prior to printing. I have form that populates a list using
printerSetCurrent(listprinters) and then they click a button that runs
formreturn(true) and that used to work but hasn't in awhile. Does anybody
of a way for me to allow the user to select a printer.

Thanks

I forgot to mention I'm using Paradox 10.

On a form (pushbutton is what I use):

menuAction(MenuFilePrinterSetup)

I don't think it will work in a script, but I'm fairly certain in works in a
form calling a library method as well.

How does that fit in?

Did you try the code I posted?

This is how I do it. Can you post the code?
