I've inherited a legacy DBASE that runs in a DOS window on Win2000. I'm connected to a printer on LPT1.

I can print from Win2000 fine.

If I shell out to the DOS prompt, I can print from DOS fine.

But when I try to print from within DBASE--forget it. I've tried
.SET PRINTER LPT1:
.SET PRINT ON

but when I try to print--the output goes into never never land.

It seems to me that the problem is a DBASE setting. Does anyone have a suggestion or know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

try in this manner:

SET PRINTER TO FILE TEMP.TXT

then
RUN COPY TEMP.TXT LPT1
