Hi Kenny,
In Rbase for DOS, trying to print to \\server_name\printer_name does not work, 
what I get is ...

-ERROR- Cannot create destination file. (2086)

I would like to try run Rbase for DOS on a 32 bit server, and access the 
program using a Thin Client or Remote Desk Top.
I tried it, and it works fine, but not for printing.
 
Everything I tried failed.
 
OUTPUT LPT1; PRINT reportname; OUTPUT SCREEN
OUTPUT LPT1; TYPE filename; NEWPAGE; OUTPUT SCREEN
COPY filename PRN
COPY filename LPT1

NET USE indicates that LPT1/2/3 are indeed mapped to network printers
I am able to copy files to the LPT1/2/3 from a command prompt window, so I 
think the printers are working.

What am I doing wrong?

Mike
