Is it possible to run an OIPI.NET report while the OIPI.CFG is VSPRINTER not VSPRINTER2.
Because there are font differences between the 2 processes I wish to slowly convert the OIPI routines to OIPI.NET, but I need to be able to run both simultaneously during the conversion.
Any advice would be grateful.
TIA

where it says
"Finally, if you do wish to use OIPI.NET for specific reports _only_, you can modify those reports to call SET_PRINTER2 and GET_PRINTER2 (instead of the normal SET_PRINTER and GET_PRINTER). SET_PRINTER2 and GET_PRINTER2 instruct the system to use OIPI.NET exclusive of the CFG_OIPI records. So you could have all your reports using OIPI except those that you specifically modify to use the new functionality."
thus:
set_printer1 to use vsprint
set_printer2 to use .net
