> 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.

Yes. Use Fox Power Printer, available here in the files section. It does all this work for you...and a whole lot more.
