>>>Remove the printer info from the report. In VFP 6 you could do:
>>>1. Open report as a table
>>>2. go to first record
>>>3. Clear contents of these fields: Tag, TAG2
>>>4. In Expr field leave only these lines:
>>>ORIENTATION=xxxxxx
>>>PAPERSIZE=xxxxxxx
>>>COLOR=xxxxx
>>>
>>>
>>>Here in download section there are some utilities that could automate this for you. Unfortunately I can't remember them. When I find them I'll send you a link.

>>You want me to remove all of these except the 3 you mention?

>>DRIVER=winspool
>>DEVICE=\\EMAIL\Epson FX-1050
>>OUTPUT=LPT1:
>>ORIENTATION=0
>>PAPERSIZE=121
>>ASCII=121
>>COPIES=1
>>DEFAULTSOURCE=15
>>PRINTQUALITY=120
>>COLOR=1
>>YRESOLUTION=144
>>TTOPTION=2
>>COLLATE=0

>VFP9 leaves only these 3 I mentioned when I didn't save Printer Environment in report. But if you want you could leave everything except DRIVER, DEVICE and OUTPUT rows.
