Hello, Annibale
Here is a reprint of a post from Josh Weiss on a previous thread. It should tell you what you need to know.

>>Hi ,
>>I'm creating reports using the VFP report designer & just before I send a new report to my clients I intend to open the report's .frx file, go to record 1 & replace tag, tag2 & expr with "". Is this all I need to do to ensure the report will run properly on different printers. This sounds almost too easy to me. Does anyone know of any problems with this approach?
