>Stephen, the frx file is a pure VFP dbf file. Try to explore its content. I thunk you can find a way to automate this change. I'm almost sure the Print When... code is stored for each control in some field in that table.

It's a SupExpr field. (from my memory)

Try to find John's Koziol article "Demistifying Visual FoxPro Report Files" in FoxTalk August 2000 (it's free).

>>Very messy for sure. These are printed forms. There are many lines (not data but drawn lines), very small print, tons of verbage, little boxes that are checked from data, on and on. With this not being a standard report with a header and detail where the detail section is virtually blank except for the report data, I don't think PrintWhen is going to work here. You'd never be able to change the definition without having to try and wade through all the rest of the mess. Thanks for the suggestion though!!!

>>>Make it as a single layout by just a copying of all controls from second layout to first layout. However, for all controls on the first page put the PrintWhen... condtition to print them only on the first page, for controls from second layout put a condition to print only on the second page. Quite messy, but it will print in a single pass, so I guess it could be done that way.

Users have to print the front from the tray and then flip over the paper and load to the manual tray. Would love to end this.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
