Hi Colin,
In order to do easily what Cathy adviced you, (clean up frx)
you can have look at my XDIR tool here in downloads.

One of class implementations is mass frx cleanup.

So using this tool you can clean up ALL frx found along specified path
or entire hard disc drive by issuing one function call ;

=xclean_reports('C:\')

Directory scanning object calls plain VFP function to do frx cleanup
which you can amend to do it way you want it.

In it's current state, from list of frx default setting found in
FrxTable.expr field, function would live only folowing ;

ORIENTATION=0
PAPERSIZE=164

preserving report orientation, and page size only.

This might be as per Cathy advice exactly what u need.

Rgds+++
Sergio

>>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.
>>
>>Note that you will have to do this EVERY time you make a change to the report. Earlier versions of VFP always save the printer environment. Starting with VFP 8, you can turn that "feature" off.
