This works

printerSetCurrent("Panasonic KX-P1150,Panasonic KX-P1150,LPT1:")

This doesn't

printerSetCurrent(printvar)

If the enduser wants to change printers we need the latter option. Any work around folks??

What did you set 'printvar' to? Is it a string variable? Did you include the port assignment in the variable string?

Here is the code I use to let them choose a printer with a popup menu.

var
pmMenu PopupMenu
arPrnNames, arPrinters array[] String
endvar


enumPrinters(arPrinters)
pmMenu.addArray(arPrinters)

str = pmMenu.show()

if str <> &quot;&quot; then
printerSetCurrent(str)
endIf

Hope this helps
