I believe the global option to "Save printer environment" affects new reports only. Existing reports will carry on whatever option they where saved with. There's also a bug in Report Designer. Printer Environment becomes enabled if you change Font on any object using Righ-click, Properties, Stye Tab, Fonts. I don't think modifying report in any other way will enable Printer Environment

>Some earlier versions of VFP always save the printer environment when reports are saved. This causes reports developed in one environment to not always run properly in a different environment where printers are different. This is an issue when distributing reports; one has to manually open the .FRX as a table, go to the first row, and delete unnecessary cruft from the .Expr, .Tag and .Tag2 columns.
