Hi Bruce,

I tried the appraoch 2 from your other post. Unfortuantely, right now I haven't ability to print this report and check, how it's printed.
The approach 1 (changing Printer settings) I'm not sure, I may use. The problem is that only one particular report I want to print on both sides, all other should be printed in usual way. So, what do you suggest? I don't know, is there a way to change Printer settings automatically from VFP (Perhaps I can invoke Control Panel / Printer from VFP (never done this before, but think, it's doable) and after printing this report invoke it again to reset settings, but it's too combersome...
I'll take a look into Frx file itself and check, if my settings are remembered...
Thanks for your help.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
