Thank you Lisa. That is most helpful.

I've read one person's 'signature' (a VB person) saying he "doesn't do data". I guess I could sign "don't do reports" < s >.

cheers

However, again, this is not a new "feature", it is more or less an annoyance when you are distributing the report to other users who have other printers. (and has been an annoyance since the beginning of FoxPro FRXs) This is one reason why the feature of turning *off* printer environment was introduced -- we were all removing the printer environment by going into the FRX and removing this information from the header record anyway <s>.
