>I have a couple of reports (1 to 4) to print for each client. Each report need it own paper type. Presently, they print report A for all clients, then report B, etc. They then need to manually assemble the reports for each client before sending them by mail.

>What they want is to put the paper type for the report A in the first drawer of the printer, put the paper type for the report B in the second drawer, etc. and for each client, print the report A from the first drawer, the report B from the second drawer, etc.

>I can do with the data part, but what bother me is how can I specify programatically the drawer to use for each report? I didn't see anything in the REPORT FORM or the SET PRINTER TO that allow me to specify the drawer to use. I surely don't want to popup the print setup screen for each report...

If you save report form in design mode with printer environment then Expr field (DEFAULTSOURCE line) in Frx file will keep this information.
