>I am using a printer driver that stores the # of copies in the expr memo field of the report .frx. I wrote a routine to change the copies=# entry in this memo. It worked fine during debug in foxpro but after compiling it will not let me write to the .frx - Does anyone know how to access and write to this memo field when running as .exe.

When you build the .exe file, the frx is embeded internally, so it becomes read-only. That´s why you can´t write to it. You can retire the frx from the project and provide it besides the .exe file; this make the program work while still being able to write to the memo.
