>>>Windows really doesn't care if you actually HAVE the printer when you install a print-driver. If your clients are using an HP 4+, install the driver on your printer control panel. Before working on their reports, switch YOUR default printer to the HP4+, and the reports will 'default' to that mode. The downside, of course, is that you can't test the printouts ON the printer, only through Preview.

I was going to write a little more and something came up and I had to leave, hence, the abrupt message.

No need to be any clearer than you were, I just wanted to add the "VFP could do it a little better" clause...hey, I don't complain about much and this is relatively minor...

Take care!
