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