>>>>I had this problem too. The .frx saves the default printer information and codes. This is one of the shortcomings for foxpro (IMO). In any case, here is a solution. This solution only works if the same printer drivers and codes are used. Generally, all HPLJ's are the same, so it should work in *most* offices.
