Hi,
I have an old system written in VFP 9 (started in VFP 6 I think) that
has been in use every work day for the last 12 years or so doing 500 to
600 transactions a day. Half of those transactions involve
automatically printing a label when a record gets saved. The label gets
printed on a Dymo LabelWriter.
Within the last few weeks the client has been complaining that sometimes
the label is not automatically being printed (most of the time it
works). They then have to manually print it and when they do it
manually it works. This apparently is occurring on any of their 11
workstations. When I check the print queues of all the printers on the
PC, none have any documents pending so it looks like the print job has
disappeared. Another site with 6 workstations has not complained about
the problem and both sites are running the same version of my application.
In my form's save code, after a successful save I do this:
IF .GenerateMemoNumber()
.PrintAgreement()
.PrintLabel()
ENDIF
The agreement always gets printed out.
This is my code in the PrintLabel method:
LOCAL lcCurrentPrinter
lcCurrentPrinter = SET('PRINTER',2)
LOCAL luValue
luValue = 'Dymo LabelWriter EL60'
IF TYPE('oApp') = 'O' AND !ISNULL('oApp')
luValue = oApp.GetAppInfo('LabelPrinter')
* if the preference does not exist create it
IF ISNULL(luValue)
oApp.SetAppInfo('LabelPrinter', 'C', 'Dymo LabelWriter EL60')
ENDIF
luValue = ALLTRIM(oApp.GetAppInfo('LabelPrinter'))
ENDIF
WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT "Sending label to " + m.luValue
SET PRINTER TO NAME (luValue)
LABEL FORM Parcel &lcdestination && TO PRINTER
SET PRINTER TO NAME (lcCurrentPrinter)
Any ideas on what could be happening?

Frank.
