This may not be strictly a VFP matter. I am using Bullzip as a pdf printer from VFP (under Windows 7). This works fine. If I am doing this under program control I can specify (among other things) the destination folder where the pdf file is to be written.
The user may however ask for the report to go to a (general) printer; when the REPORT FORM command is executed he is taken to the standard dialogue for selecting a printer. On my installation, if he selects ‘Bullzip PDF Printer’, the default destination folder is the Desktop.
The user can indeed navigate to a different folder for the current output file. I would like to be able to set the default folder so that that is the folder which is offered when he selects this pdf printer.
I understand that there is a registry setting Software\Bullzip\PDF Printer\default. I have tried changing this by using Regedit but without success. Dangerous stuff, but I would like to know what I need to change in the registry (if that is the way to go), and how I can do this from within my VFP application.
Thanks. Andrew
