Thx for the reply Romain Strieff [TeamB]. Did you try CLOSE PRINTER? Close Printer is only for set printer to filename, not port, isn't it? I tried it just for kicks, but doesn't release the capture (or end the print job). Any other ideas?

Close Printer doesn't accomplish what we need to at the DOS level running under Windows 95, which is the need to physically end the capture. If I call a dos batch file with a "net use delete LPTX", this accomplishes our purpose but seems to eventually causes blue screen errors and lockups in Windows. We need a DBASE statement that physically ends the capture at a DOS level, so that we free that port to capture to other printers. Thnx for any help.
