Looking at the printer default settings in the first record of a .FRX or .LBX, I see that the settings fo rthe destination printer are stored there.

This is set by the File|Page Setup menu option and is presumably used by FoxPro when the report is printed.

Q1) is this always used with REPO FORM ... TO PRINTER
* I hope so

Q2) is this the default used for REPO FORM ... TO PRINTER PROMPT
* I hope so

Q3) what happens if the user has no connection rights to this printer under WinNT or Win95?
* I think output goes nowhere with no errors, this would explain a bug I'm trying to track down. The client is using WINSHIELD to prevent users changin any of their system settings, including printers.

Q4) what happens if the user has *NO* printers defined at all?
* I think output goes nowhere with no errors, this would explain a bug I'm trying to track down. The client is using WINSHIELD to prevent users changin any of their system settings, including printers.


Here are the values in that memo field for two of my files:
