Thanks Nico! That worked. Since I do this part time, I still get confused as to when the ampersand HAS to be used. I had been using it with the email configuration then saw someone on the list say that we should use the dotted var so I changed my code.
Thanks again.

Nico, I tried your suggestion but it still uses my default printer. I believe the code below is proper. It just dose not want to go past the default printer. SET VAR vpchoice TEXT = (CVAL('PRINTERS')) CHOOSE vpuse FROM #LIST .vpchoice PRINT packinglist WHERE control# = .vcnum + OPTION PRINTER + |TRAY 2 + |COLLATION OFF + |COPIES 1 + |PRINTER_NAME .vpuse Javier may be correct about the spaces. Here is the name of the printer as it shows on my computer. \\K-FS1\KONICA MINOLTA C351 VXL (The var vpuse also shows this as the proper name when I choose this printer from a list). So how do I eliminate the spaces but still have the computer see it as a printer?
