Dont know if you tried the "TAG" and "TAG2" fields in the report layout. If you hack the report (ie: use MyReport.frx ) and browse, the first record holds the page and printer layout information. Typically the report writer would store info about the printer as when created based on the computer and defaults IT had at the time. Then, when you tried to print, it would try to think for itself and look for that printer which obviously wouldn't be installed on everyone's machines. Also, look in the EXPR column also on the first record. It hold printer layout information such as orientation, paper size, etc... look at those too.

if you edit the first record, blank out the values within the respective TAG and TAG2 columns, then in the EXPR field, strip out other things that may appear to be printer specific, but keep others like orientation and papersize. Close the report and run it... (BTW, make a backup of your report first).
