    '.Flags = xtpPDPrintSetup

        .CancelError = True
        .ShowPrinter

	Hi, So what problem do you see ? You just don't see print dialog ? Do you have some printer installed ?

	Hi, I do have printers installed. The problem is with changing the default printer. on Showprinter, the print setup dialog shows. so, i select the printer and click on 'ok'. The default printer is not changed to the one selected. When i re-open the Print setup dialog no change has been done. Unlike MSCdialog, the application will look like it hangs for a sec when i click on 'ok' and when i re-open print setup the selected printer is now the default printer.

	This is a problem of VB6 himself. You must change the Default-Printer by yourself. If you use the VB6-Commoncontrols, that are wrapper-classes for the Windows-Common-Controls so they do something more for you. CJ simply call the windows-common-controls and knows nothing about VB6. PS: The changing of the defaultprinter with VB6 effects ALL Applications and sets the Windows-Default-Printer !
