Hi Christian,

If you have the same printer for development as they have where you installed your EXE, than while in your report select FILE / PAGE SETUP / PRINTER SETUP and save all of the properties that you wish for your report. They will be saved in the report table (i.e reportname.frx) in the EXPR,TAG1,TAG2 fields of the report. On the other hand, if you would like to give your users the option of choosing any windows installed printer for printing your report, open up your report as a table and delete the contents of all three forementioned fields and save it, then rebuild the EXE. This way no printer definitions will be contained in the report.
