I am attempting to copy print files to an NT network printer with the
Clipper copy file to ... command using the syntax copy file (prnfile) to
(net_device). The Clipper documentation indicates that copy file can be
used to copy to a network device but when I attempt that in my code I
get Error base 2012 Create error: net_device (DOS Error 87). I am
looking to get around having to capture lpt ports and NT net use, etc.
and would prefer that my users could enter a network printer name
directly in their user setup. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.
Bill

Hi Bill,

I have been fighting with this for a long time, now I am using
SWPRUNCMD() from Blinker with the attached code.

The variable aNtServer is an array that contains the name of the
file and the UNC-name of the printer.

The function works on both win95/98 and NT workstation.
