Hi Sufyan;

  That is because you did not replace the old PFC layer from the PB v8.x app. The old PFC used this external DLL for printing.  The use of that DLL was removed in newer PFC versions as it was obsolete.

HTH

Hi Chris...

 

The client had many modifications to the PFC... It is difficult to replace (I a mot sure I have access to a newer version)

 

I will try and replace this function in the CODE... What does it do BTW? Just pops up the PRINT Dialogue?

This external function was replaced by the showPrintDlg argument to the Print function.

dw.Print(canceldlg, showPrintDlg)

^^^^^ What Roland said.

You need to look in the PFC/PFE code and replace the pfc_pfntdlg call with the new one.
