>>>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.
