Sorry 1 last question

If I look at the fields in expr this is my interpretation of what you have said - am I correct?

DRIVER=winspool
Clear - DEVICE=\\EMAIL\DAILY OKI
OUTPUT=LPT1:
ORIENTATION=0
Clear - PAPERSIZE=164
Clear - ASCII=164
COPIES=1
Clear - DEFAULTSOURCE=15
PRINTQUALITY=120
COLOR=1
YRESOLUTION=72
TTOPTION=2
COLLATE=0

Thanks

Colin


>You need to get rid of the printer environment information that is stored with the report. To do that, open the report file as a table browse it. In the first record, clear the TAG and TAG2 fields. Also in the first record there is a field called EXPR. Don't clear it all -- but edit the field and clear the printer information. You still want to retain things like orientation.
