Thanks Josh,
I totally forgot that the source control stuff was accessable programmatically! I guess I'll just rewrite that program. Thanks for your speedy help.
Marcus.

>What version of VFP are you using? With VFP 6's project object you could easily write a program that would check out the files, strip out the printer info, then check the files back in. In VFP 5 I think you would have to deal with the VSS object model and also manually update the PJX. Probably more trouble than it's worth.

>>>>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.
