At last I can send you a reply - server problems.

What I mean by "Undo" is how come VFP assign the specific printer we develop the application with when most - if not all - of my clients have different printer? I tought that was one of the purpose of Windows.. to be able to change printers easily.

By default VFP embed all the coding for a specific printer. So we have to undo (USE MyReport.frx, empty TAG and TAG2, etc..) what VFP has automaticaly done by default if we want an opening for any printer change.

Why would I want to develop for one specific printer in Windows?
