Hi John,

That's what I just posted in my reply to Jeff.

Even if you wipe out TAG and TAG2, changes in EXPR field still affect the output
And if you wipe out EXPR field and you report had the Landscape orientation the output will go with the default Portrait orientation, cutting the right side.

But you cannot wipe out TAG and TAG2 fields if you are going to send report to file, because the information in TAG2 field is used for formatting the output(PCL, or POSTSCRIPT) however the report may still print on the printer OK.
