Printing and COM objects

[sheronne]

Can you print from a COM object? I am using VFP 8 and I have created a dll but everytime I call the function which includes the code "REPORT FORM test.frx NOCONSOLE TO PRINTER NODIALOG" the code bombs. If I comment out this line it works. Any thoughts?

Thx

Hi

Is it likely that VFP7 is mixed up. Because, NODIALOG is a VFP8 specific command

Ramani,

I don't quite understand? I am using VFP 8 so I don't understand where VFP7 is coming into play? I used VFP 8 to create the dll and I have tried to call the dll both from VFP 8 and from .NET and both return the same error.

Sheronne,
According to "What's New in VFP 8.0" by Tamar E. Granor and Doug Hennig, it won't work.

Note that, even with NODIALOG, you still can't print reports from within a DLL-based VFP COM object.
