>1) Have you ever edited this report programmatically?

No

>2) What is the default font for the report ('scuse me if you have already said)

The default is Arial Bold 8. This is the one that is being resetted on that label whenever I enter back in the report designer.

>3) what version of VFP are you working in ?

VFP 8

>4) what is the default printer information like in this report -- are you saving printer environment, is the printer different from your VFP default, etc?

Yes, the printer environment is saved. Even by unchecking that option in the menu, by doing the same pattern, whenever I go back in the report designer, it is resetted to the default font.
