Arnon,
The fix (in my case) turns out to be clearing TAG1 and TAG2 from
the .FRX file and doing a SET PRINTER NAME before the report and SET
PRINTER DEFAULT after the REPORT. It seems that SET PRINTER TO NAME
does not set or change the WINDOWS default printer flag. It just changes
your SESSION default printer. I like obvious solutions :)
However I noticed that I needed to leave the Settings in EXPR field
for page setup to be maintained.
Thanks for your help.
