Hi Nick.....

I thought the same thing, until I discovered the contents of EXPR get compiled into the TAG2 Field. Blanking out the TAG and TAG2 field works just fine. Not only is are the paper-sizes genericized, the driver is as well, which is usually required.

Also, unless the FRX is NOT burned into the EXE, the ability does not exist to change the contents of anything, unless of course you resort to a COPY TO and then change the FRX.

Blanking out the TAG and TAG2 Fields is the most bulletproof way around this problem....
