>Does VFP pick up the default Windows 3.1 printer driver and uses it as its own default printer driver?

>I installed a VFP executable application on a user's machine running Windows 3.1. When it was installed, the user's default Windows printer driver was for a networked LaserJet 4. Subsequent to the VFP program's installation, he switched his Windows default printer to a local HP portable printer. However when he tries to print a report now, VFP keeps on using the LaserJet 4 driver instead of the current default printer driver.

The current printer when the report was created is stored in the Report. You can verify this by opening the Report as a Table, look at the first record in the Expr field. What I usually do is delete this field contents & everything goes generic.
