    ShellExecute question

    Thanks for your input Mike. I agree with you & Chris based on the fact that I've used ShellExecute() many times in the past and have never encountered this problem before. I don't think the culprit is the zipping at the end of the program (btw it's WinZip command line). Even if it does behave...

    ShellExecute question

    Chris, thanks for your response. You're obviously correct about RUN vs ShellExecute. I've used ShellExecute many times in the past to, among other things, avoid the opening of a "DOS" window. So I think you have correctly identified the problem that either the zip EXE or pdf converter EXE are...

    thermal label printer

    Thanks for your response hardianwn. I should have been more specific. Bar codes aren't the problem... we have the necessary fonts. I need a printer that can print directly from within Visual Foxpro, not via proprietary software supplied with the printer.
