With all due respect (and that's a lot, Mark :) I think the answer should be "No, don't edit it before you MODIFY REPORT, edit it after you MODIFY REPORT, and before you compile it into your APP/EXE." It's the MODIFY REPORT command which puts the printer-specific info into the frx.

If you have MODIFY REPORT commands in your APP/EXE to allow the end-users to change the reports before using them, I'd suggest you put code after the MODIFY REPORT commands to do the Tag, Expr1, Expr2 editing in your code. Unless you can rely on the fact that the user who is editing the report will always be sending that report to the printer which was set as their windows default when they modified it.
