Well, I think I found something that works for now. My original symptom occured when I ran my FPW app on WinXP. When I tried to print a report I got an error saying that it couldn't find a particular file (which turned out to be related to a printer driver) but the report still printed. This file was referenced in the TAG field of the report in question. I recognized the symptom from my VFP apps and the solution of cleaning out the TAG and TAG2 fields. Unfortunately, I had a single landscape report such that cleaning out these fields caused it to revert back to portrait output.

My approach that seems to work for my specific case is to blank out the TAG field but leave the TAG2 field alone for the landscape report only. It removes the reference to the printer driver file but leaves the orientation data intact in TAG2.

Has anyone else tried this?
