>(At least according to the posting section we're in) we're talking FPW 2.6 here. If so, EXPR doesn't have printer driver stuff in it. Only TAG and TAG2 do. Also, in FPW 2.6, if you blank out TAG and TAG2, you lose things like Landscape setting.

Hi Rich:

I too found that I did not want to drop the orientation stuff out of the report form. There was an article in FoxPro Advisor recently with source for something named "NukeFrxPrinter" or something like that. It just literally wiped out all the EXPR and TAG fields, including non-printer specific stuff. I hacked it and created one that just does a STRTRAN() if it finds the printer name stuff and would be happy to send it along, if you are interested. Works in 2.6x/3.0/5.0/6.0 report forms. I'm not currently at a workstation with outside mail support, or I'd do it now.

HTH
