Microsoft's VFP knowledge base acknowledged the problem at one time and stated that the problem was corrected in version 5.0, but that is not true - I'm using version 5.0. Also, I've downloaded a patch which was suggested by tech support at Microsoft but that has not alleviated the problem either.

When you generate your app or exe are you clearing out the fields in the report file that point to your printer. If you dont then the reports will expect to print to your printer all the time and things will not work properly. Before I do a build I run a program that will clean out all of the developers printer references inside the report form. I use the following code to do this:

LOCAL lcSaveDefault, lcSavepath, lcReportDir, laReportArray
lcReportDir = ''
DIMENSION laReportArray[1]
lcSaveDefault = SET('DEFAULT')
lcSavepath = SET('PATH')

lcReportDir = GETDIR('','Where is Report Directory?')

SET DEFA TO (lcReportDir)
SET PATH TO (lcReportDir)

ADIR(laReportArray,'*.FRX')

FOR i = 1 To ALEN(laReportArray,1)
  SELECT 0
  USE laReportArray[i,1] ALIAS FixReport
  LOCATE FOR Objtype = 1 AND Objcode = 53
  REPLACE FixReport.Tag WITH ""
  REPLACE FixReport.Tag2 WITH ""
  * Possible bug in that this removed the landscape and portrait settings
  *REPLACE FixReport.Expr WITH "" 
  USE
ENDFOR

=messagebox('Processed ' + ALLTRIM(STR(ALEN(laReportArray,1))) + ' Reports')

SET DEFAULT TO (lcSaveDefault)
SET PATH TO (lcSavepath)
