>We always trash out the printer info in record 1 of the FRX's (from EXPR and TAG/TAG2), and all has been fine until now. Suddenly some of my users are experiencing runtime errors: 'Error Loading Printer Driver' when running REPORT PREVIEW, with Message(1) = '0'. The flagged line of code is in the FRX at a record containing a calculated field, and the TAG field in the FRX contains simply '0' (zero). These reports have several calculated fields, and every one has this TAG field value. The only literature I have seen says that TAG and TAG2 are for binary printer info before and after (init & de-init?), but always refers only to record 1, and these are in later records...

Well, no answers for several days... Found the time to test clearing all the TAG fields and got my first of the infamous 'C00000005" errors. So I guess at least I found that it is NOT safe to clear the TAG/TAG2 fields except on the first record of the FRX. Still would like to know from anyone if there's a place for more info on this issue...
