Chris,

I know this is just a temp fix, have your client change the windows default printer before he/she runs the program to print the report. It's a PITA.

>Whenever you edit a report, VFP puts the information about the default printer on your development computer into the 3 fields. You need to remove this information JUST BEFORE you send the FRX/FRT files to the client. Then, without a 'precoded' printer the FRX has enough sense to look for the Windows default printer and run according to each client's default printer. This is one of the more annoying things about the report writer. :-(
