Hi Sergey,

Is there a way to automatically change this setting for all reports? ?prtinfo(7) returns 7 on my machine and it returns 258 on my boss's Windows 98 machine. So, how this could be changed globally?

If not, I have a program, which fixes reports. I can add this functionality into this program.

>See PRTINFO() function in VFP help. According to it DEFAULTSOURCE=7 is Auto-Select. DEFAULTSOURCE=258 isn't even there. I woul try to change it to 7 and see if it helps.

>>When I go to Properties / Paper at the bottom I see "Type is" This is set to recycled by default, if this report was designed for another printer...

>>Here is the info from report.frx:
>>ORIENTATION=0

>>COPIES=1
>>DEFAULTSOURCE=258 && I guess, this is it. This means, Auto-Select
>>PRINTQUALITY=-4
>>COLOR=2
>>DUPLEX=1

I still have Windows 95. We have Network Printer, which is Laser (I don't remember the specifics). I remove all printer specific information from reports. When reports are send to printer, somehow Recycled track got selected, which confuses the printer. It seems to happen only for VFP reports, not for other Windows applications.

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