set device to prompt

[davekirbawy]

The following code

set device to printer prompt()
@ 1,1 say "Hello World"
set device to screen

set device to printer prompt()
@ 1,1 sa "Good bye"
set device to screen

The second set device to printer did not provide a list of
printers to select from; there must be a way to release the first choice so that each line may go to a different printer.

Hi

WAG....

You might try the Set Printer Command...

Set Printer On Prompt
@1,1, say "Is this going to work?"
Set Printer Off

etc....

davekirbawy,

It appears to be related to the device being busy with the first request... Perhaps VFP is unable to switch output devices to another printer while the first request is still processing...just a thought.
