I copied the REP*.APP files to the Prog Files\Common\MS\VFP folder and now the app does work without needing to set any of the _Report* Vars

Are there reasons I would not want all the vfp apps on a machine using the same REP*.APP files?

Using "to Printer" is very slow and produces a very large print spool while the preview is fast and the spool is is about 1/20 of the size. Hopefully this will not be the case when the product is released.

Thanks for the help.
