fp to local printer question

[Richard Hane]

Ken,

Thanks for the help.  That fixed it.  I am so use to directing output with 
pfprinter that I had forgot about win: [name].

As to your question "Why not just run it natively on Win7?", I would like to.  
filePro isn't the problem.  We are two major releases behing in our ERP system.  
The version we are on can NOT run on a workstation with any version higher than 
win 2000 (sp4) or XPPro (sp3).  When we move to the current version of the ERP 
software next summer we will move all workstations to Windows 7.

Thank you,

Why not just run it natively on Win7?

My guess is that it just created a file called "TS001" in the current directory.

Try the "win:printername" format of the destination.
