using getprinter() - if user selects "Cancel" how to know? 3

[ahaws]

Hi all -
I use :

set printer to NAME getprinter()
/

So - if user selects "cancel" instead of "Ok"...how to let program know they selected "Cancel"?

When the user hits cancel - just uses last set printer...
would like to stop and not print at that point.

Possible?
Thanks
Angie

lcPrinterName = GETPRINTER()
IF EMPTY(lcPrinterName)
* cancelled
ELSE
?lcPrinterName
ENDIF

As you have probably noticed CANCEL does not return a value, whereas OK returns the name of the selected printer.

So couldn't you do something along the lines of:

LOCAL lcPrinter, lcComm

lcPriner = GetPrinter()

IF EMPTY(lcPrinter)
MESSAGEBOX("Cancel pressed or no printer installed&quot
ELSE
lcComm = ;
"SET PRINTER TO '" + ALLTRIM(lcPrinter) + "'"
&lcComm
ENDIF
