Frank, Ok, 1. Set the "save printer environment" off 2. Add testbox to the report - the "save environment" doesn't change, so far so good. 2. Double click the added text field, bring up properties 3. Style tab, change the font size to say 18 or something fairly large, then OK 4. The "save environment" setting will now be checked.
Using VFP9 SP1 here, don't know if it happens with SP2 as I removed it a while back.

There must be something special you are doing. Can you give me the exact steps you took? Frank.
