There's not a workaround, but it's really not a big deal either. Just Check Out all reports from your version control software and create a simple program to loop through all FRXs in a directory, open each one as a table, and REPLACE the tag fields on the first record. You could run this program each time before you make a delivery. If you don't know how to do this, let me know.

One other thing..if you want to maintain the orientation, papersize and other non-printer-specific attributes, clear out only the DEVICE line in the Expr field.

> I have a problem with the default way that Visual FoxPro's Report Designer saves the developers default printer settings in its reports. I have done some research on this and have discovered where this information is stored in the .FRX file and know how to clear it. This method of clearing out the Tag and Tag2 fields is a real pain with 75+ reports in my application and it is required because with this information stored in the report, using the "SET PRINTER TO NAME \\printserver\printer" command to send the report output to multiple locations does not function properly at the client sight. Additionally, I am in a multi-developer environment with source control software in place and this makes the process of catching all possible oversights of removing these field contents at compile time a real nightmare.
