Re: Sys(1037) on VFP9 SP2

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

There are .FromPage and .ToPage properties on the OleControl, along with
others like orientation, pages, etc.. Don't know of a way to return the
printer selected though.

Thanks Fred for you response.
I'm jumping from VFP6 to VFP9 SP2. I got a VFP6 form with a option group
with 3 options (Preview, Printer and File) and a button with SET PRINTER
TO NAME Sys(1037) on its click event to select a printer, then the user
can print a page range and multiple copies. Now on VFP9 i can't use
sys(1037) because it doesn't return a printer name.
I did what you suggest me, but how can i get the same effect as REPORT
FORM (lcReportName) TO PRINTER NOCONSOLE RANGE nPageFrom, nPageTo. I
mean, thisform.OleControl1.ShowPrinter() does not return a printer name,
either.

Thanks,
Ramses.

What's the issue? Maybe you can use the ComonDialog print box instead?

Drop a CommonDialog ActiveX control on a form and have a command button
that shows the Printer Dialog using thisform.OleControl1.ShowPrinter().

Hi all,
Have anybody found a walkaround for the sys(1037) issue. I mean, is
there a way to select a printer and page setup on the same dialog box
(as VFP6 did)?
I know Cathy Pountney have opened a 'ticket' at MS, but it's reported as
closed.

Thanks,
Ramses.
