Hi Nick....

You know, I have to give credit where credit is due. It does appear that modifying those items does work. I could swear at one point, that was not the case. Either a driver or VFP issue... who knows. But, with SP 3, and the LJ 1100 driver, it appears to work fine.

To that, I stand corrected....

The one thing however is when FRX's get burned into an EXE. One would need to make sure to copy and editable version of the FRX to disk, make the necessary changes, run the report, then delete the local copy. This would be a good addition to the KB article..

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I would however, still resort to blanking out the TAG and TAG2 fields to be sure no lasting effects stuck around....


Thank you for holding me to that higher standard....

>DRIVER=WINSPOOL
