I will take a guess here and say that this VFP 7 report had its printer environment manually adjusted in some way. That's the most likely reason for this to happen.

VFP 9 stores printer environment information slightly more carefully than (even) VFP 8 did -- and VFP 8 stored it a bit differently than VFP 7 as you probably know.

You will want to take a close look at 60FRX.DBF in your Filespec directory to learn about stuff like this. It has been vastly updated, both to improve the information you have about the use of fields in FRXs in *every* version of VFP and to show you what the new usage is, where fields now have additional VFP 9 purpose or meaning.

You will want to check the Expr, Tag, Tag2 *and* Picture records in 60FRX for information about Printer Environment (and yes I know Picture wasn't used before <g> -- this is for user overrides, it won't mess up anything in your current reports).

Your reporting release notes also contain a document devoted to some related printing changes (check the Table of Contents in the reporting\default.htm for the specification on printing enhancements).

There is also a fairly critical change in how VFP 9 handles printer setups, related to the general printing changes, that was unfortunately left out of the release notes. I am going to post a separate message with a tip about this.
