Cindy & Don,

The page size is letter and I did not remove the settings in the previous version of the software. None of the end-users had any problems (that I know of).
This .exe is going out in BETA to another end-user followed soon by more installations (again to new end-users). I would like to take whatever steps I can to minimize the support calls but I also don't want to create any problems where there were not any previously.
So, given the above, do I update the .FRX, build the project and then build the compile?
TIA.

However, you should delete only the printer-specific information. That means everything in Tag1 and Tag2, but the Expr field is a different story. Here's one I have:
