Actually, Brant, that's a great idea because it would make maintenance a
lot easier. Printers do get shuffled (and renamed/reinstalled) from time
to time without my knowledge and it would allow me to group workstations
to a single printer. My prior thought was to store the default printer
name in an INI file that my app uses to store the IP address for the
data server. Doing it my way requires 150 (or at least a bunch) of
system accesses and updates, along with future individual updates. Using
a table I can define clusters, assign the workstation IP address to a
cluster and assign a printer to a cluster. Kind of an abstraction layer.
If a printer changes, then the only update is to update the name of the
printer for the affected cluster.
Thanks for the brain cycles!

Hi Mike,
A thought to help with the default printer issue.
Since you are making changes to work around the problem, maybe include
this?
A new table containing the machine and correct default printer.
You could define a record for each computer when you find that there
is a default printer set. Or, you may already have a record somewhere
of the computers and the printer they 'should' be using.
