Thank's it worked.
From what I tried, it seems that the behavior of Fox
is something like this :
IF NOT EMPTY(EXPR)
...use those settings
ELSE
...use printer manager settings
ENDIF
Does someone know if this is really the case?
Is it safer to always clear the EXPR, TAG and TAG2
fields to avoid strange behavior at run time?
Thank's
Claude L.
