Tim,
This is an extension of Rick's information---

Why don't you clear the FRX of printer-specific information at the time the report is modified. You can delete all of the TAG and TAG2 data, but will have to parse each line of the EXPR field. In addition to printer-specific information this field holds data about landscape/portrait and other variables which need to remain.

This can be done invisibly to the user - just add a wait window saying "Adding new/modified report to the report list" and clean the 3 fields.

>I'm trying to give the users the ability to modify reports within my application. I put up a custom menu before I do the modi repo on the report. On the custom menu I added a Page Setup bar that calls _mfi_pgset. This allows the user to change the number of columns, etc. It also allows selecting and storing the printer via a Print Setup button. The problem is that the Print Setup button does not allow you to select the default printer. This seems to hold true for sys(1037) also. In Fpw 2.6 the Print Setup button gave you the options of selecting the default printer or a specific printer.
