Did you try it? Did it work?
I agree that this is a shortfall of VFP. I don't know why it does things this way. I have a little program REPORTS_FIX.PRG that I run before I compile or after I edit a report. In it I loop through all FRX files and do the replace on EXPR, TAG, and TAG2. Then I have code for some special reports that have non-standard settings like duplexing, etc.. It ain't pretty, but it works.
So, is your problem solved?

>I keep seeing the reference in this forum to replace tag and tag2 with "". I have many reports in my application. Do I have to do this anytime a change is made in any report? If so, this does not make VFP a very developer friendly language!!!
