That will work. The other option would be to check out all the reports, strip the printer info, then check them back in. That way the stripped reports would be in VSS. The one disadvantage of this is that you may run into trouble if someone else has a report checked out.

>Thanks for clearing that up Josh, let me see it I understand this for my situation. I need to strip the printer info out of each report before I compile. Because this is automatically saved with the report it will always be in my VSS copy of the reports. I will need to make sure I have the latest reports in my local directory, then un-attrib all the reports, run my program to strip printer info, then compile? Do you know of a better way to deal with printer info in reports? Thanks again.
