i hava an application that runs in a w2k active directory network enviroment and i have more networks printers too..
When i have started to design some froms that intends to prints reports(in 2 ex : one on the local printer and other on a network printer) i think like this:

if APRINTERS(prn_vector) =0 
   *No printers available
   *....
else    
   messagebox(" Please select a NETWORK printer ... ",0,"")   &&only message, the user can actuly select any printer
   prn_network=getprinter()  
   if prn_network="" then 
     **Cancel...
   else 
     set printer to &prn_network
     thisform.visible=.f.
     report form rapoarte\report_test  preview          
     thisform.visible=.t.
   endif

   messagebox(" Please select a LOCAL printer ... ",0,"")   &&only message, the user can actuly select any printer
   prn_local=getprinter()  
   if prn_network="" then 
     **Cancel...
   else 
     set printer to &prn_local
     thisform.visible=.f.
     report form rapoarte\report_test  preview          
     thisform.visible=.t.
   endif

endif

** seems to be logic TRUE ..but don't work that we expect ( i read other net docs i seems is a problem with set printer .. in a network enviroment)
(report are sends to the same printer, sometimes to the local PRN sometimes to network PRN)

-----------------------
now i use

     set printer to getprinte()
     thisform.visible=.f.
     report form rapoarte\report_test  preview          
     thisform.visible=.t.
  

this works .. (send the report to the selected printer)
but you can't detect that user press Cancel button..

ideeas ..? (pls)

Regards.
