| Hello,
I use Dbase V2.2 and for the printing ActiveX in the forms.
Is there a possibility to choose a printer (installed in Windows) for
printing.
I use the following statement in the form to print
local nResults, ax
ax=form.activex1.nativeobject
ax.reportfilename=" \\server\db2kdata\re
ports\ZENDRAPPORT.rpt"
ax.destination=1
nresults=ax.printreport()
form.close()
Please help me with this.
Thanks in advance

Is it printing to the Windows default printer, or to the _app.printer?
_app.printer is initially the Windows default printer, but can be
changed using _app.printer.choosePrinter(). If its printing to the
Windows default printer, I would think that the printer would need to be
changed through the ActiveX.

Right. But I was wondering if it was picking up the default printer from
Windows or from dBASE. Try changing the dBASE default printer (which is
initially the same as the Windows default) and run the report. If it
continues printing to the Windows default, then I'm afraid you will need
some API to change the printer.
To change the dBASE default printer, from the command line do:
_app.printer.choosePrinter()
