To find out what to change, copy the report, delete everything except the one thing you want to change as an example, and then compare the two frx files together using sys(2007, x) where x is each field name tested one-by-one in a loop until you find out which fields have changed.

>>>I don't think I have SET CURRENCY TO anywhere in the app; I think it is a literal dollar sign in the reports. So, I will need to change all reports to use the currency symbol and use the SET CURRENCY TO. I don't want to hack the .FRX files.

Do a search for the pdf3.prg program. It has a straight-forward implementation, though its goal is to render to a PDF so there's some of that code in there.

If you want, I can code you a template and attach it as a .ZIP file here. You'll use something like REPORT FORM whatever.frx OBJECT loMyReportListener... The ReportListener class will then pass everything through and you can intercept and update as needed.

Another example to look at is FoxyPreviewer. It's more complex, but it handles various printing models.
