>I am completely frustrated in my efforts to work out a way for a user to set his own Page Setup in advance of running a report. I know that this is a major complaint of VFP users.

>My application is run on machines using a variety of printers. I learned a long time ago to delete the printer specific information from the Memo fields of the first record in the FRX file. This works fine if all the users are happy to use their own printer defaults. However, a user now wants to use different Paper Sources for each of his reports and does not want to have to go into page setup (sys(1037) or PRINTER PROMPT) each time he runs the report. How can I have a user do this once, store the information and load it back in every time the report is run?

A WAG: keep a copy of the report on each users local computer and update the first memo field with the settings the user selected. This also means that you'll need to set up a way of downloading the latest version when changes are made and also loading the old settings into the new version.

Good Luck
