Genius!

Thanks!

...still a bit wonky...I have to ??? (nothing happens) then "set printer to name ...." and the label prints. But I can live with that! Thanks to Alan and Fred!

It's amazing how well things can work if you actually follow the rules.

  Not to hijack your thread, but what I'd like to know is how to send the
data to a Zebra USB label printer from VFP.

  We make sure they are installed with a standard name, OperaLabels, then
basically build up a command string using their built-in ZPL language
along these lines:

lcPrintString = [^FO230,40^A0,32,32^FD] + lcAccount + [^FS] + Chr(13) +
Chr(10)

... and so on.

Then we just Set Printer To OperaLabels and print directly to it using
???

??? lcPrintString

Simple as that.
