Hi,

I've designed a VB6 application which worked fine for the las t several weeks, however yesterday the network printer for some reason was not available in the middle of the night. This cause my application to fail in the 'PrintIT Function' this function automatically prints out the previous day performance, then clear the data file to start a fresh day.

What happened was the print out never happened and the data was not cleared, so the application kept adding the current day to the previous day data.

Does anyone know how I can trap this network error, so that
the application can dump the info to a file instead and still clear collected data.

Regards

Just a suggestion, but why not dump it into a file anyway. Then print the file.

If you want to find if network printer is available, you could ping for it. Or you can usw WMI for this purpose, search for win32_Printer on MSDN
