Thanks!!!

If you didn't develop the report on the dot-matrix printer, you'll want to open the FRX as a table (USE MyReport.FRX) and delete the contents of the EXPR, TAG and TAG2 fields for the first record ONLY. This will remove all the 'hardcoded' references to the printer that was the default printer when you developed the report. Look at the data in EXPR carefully. If this is Landscape or you're printing duplex (or other non-default properties) you may want to keep a couple of lines of code.
