Error

Is REPORT FORM ... TO PRINTER NOCONSOLE the exact code you are using?

No ... is the name of the form Eg : Stocks

Try replacing all 4 lines of code with this one line. Please note the repositioning of the noconsole parameter.

report form xxx [red]noconsole[/red] to printer [red]prompt[/red]

If you still get the spooler error look into your windows printer ports and print drivers.

David's one line code is more elegant than the original three line code supplied. (SET PRINTER ON is not needed)

If you want the user to have a choice of printer selection only, use the three line version.

If you want the user to have a choice of printer selection, copies to print and print range, use the one line version.
