Barbara,

Thanks for help. Once I do this and then modify the report again it sticks it right back in. I have not sent the update to the client yet so we will see if this works.

What is supposed to be the end result by doing this?

Thanks, Chris


Chris,
If you're printing VFP Reports, be sure you have opened each report as a table

USE MyReport.FRX

and emptied the Tag and Tag2 fields in the first record. Then open the EXPR field and delete all printer-specific information. Leave lines about orientation.

HTH

>My client is having printer problems that occur when they change the printer in the printer prompt screen. They can always print to any printer as long as it is the default printer in Windows. However they experience problems when they change the printer. We have already tried all sorts of fixes related to drivers. I have been told that there is code that will call the newly selected printer and change it to the the default printer in Windows, and supposedly this fixes it. Does anyone know how to do this?
