>>One of my co-workers has been designing and distributing reports in VFP6 without clearing the TAG,TAG2,EXPR fields in the FRX. Strangely, the couple of clients who are using the reports have not complained. When is it necessary to clear these fields? Does it matter whether the reports are included/excluded in the EXE? (These are excluded.)

>Elyse, it does not matter if they are included or excluded. Many printer drivers are compatible, so that's why there are no complaints. It is not the right idea to always clear the EXPR field, because it contains the info about the paper size, page orientation, etc. If you print the reports to file, fields TAG and TAG2 should not be cleared.

In the past, I've cleared the TAG fields and selectively removed lines from the EXPR field. Is this the way to go? What is the best approach?
