Set Console Off Question

[Serincino]

In my code I am printing to a file:
set printer to file temp\invoices.txt
set printer on
set console off
problem is that the text getting printed using ? still prints on the form that is active.
I am trying to supress this when the set printer on is used, but the text still prints on the form. Does anyone have an idea how to stop this? I've used the noconsole at the end of the commands and it still prints. I'm using VFP 8.0. Please Help.

If you see a programmer in the office before 9am, they probably never left.

Try this:

set printer to file temp\invoices.txt
set printer on
set device to print
set console off

Then after you're done,
set printer to
set printer off
set device to screen
set console on

SET TALK OFF
SET ECHO OFF

Unfortunately even with everything you all gave me I'm my prints are still showing up on the screen. Is anyone else trying to do this and not having the print show up on the form? The prints are going into the text file, but they are showing up in the form as well. I hope someone has an answer to this.

PS. thanks for everyone that has responded so far.

ok, so now it seems to work, if I just run the program straight with the mods you kind people suggested it prints works fine, it's when I'm in debug mode that the test starts popping on the form, even with all the settings, could this just be a bug with VFP 8.0? I wish Microsoft would get off their tails and start some service packs for this version.

For the "pending" 8.0 service pack, see the official announcement at

Serencino,

I doubt this is a bug.

Try executing ACTIVATE SCREEN. This diverts the output to the main window, where your SET CONSOLE OFF will be waiting to pounce on it.
