Generally speaking - for our Env. @ work - ah, no can do. More later...

You might want to do some investigating into project hooks, that is if you
at least modify the report from a project. You could also hook into the
Build process for the project and check all reports in the project at build
time.. Look in Help under "Project Manager Hooks".

Tracy,
Thanks again for your input on this - and especially for the Code - I
really appreciate it!
I finally have time today to look into this - as you probably saw from
the other e-mail reply.
Now, I'm just trying to understand how your code below would work. I
suspect that its an extra program that I would have to call - for each
and every time that I work on a report form. It would be great if I
could somehow hook it into VFP - so that it would get called
automatically. Although - I suspect that this is NOT an option.
IT sounds like I would have to remember to run this step every time I
work on a report. Right now - to fix the problem - every time I work on
a Report - I try to remember to re-open it again in VFP9 (even though
almost ALL of my work here is done within VFP7) - then, once I open it
in VFP9 - I simply open the Report, go to Page Setup in the menu, the
turn off Save Printer Env.! Needless to say - almost every time I forget
to make that update in VFP9 - one of the QA Tech's here get a call
almost always the day after they installed the update - due to the
printer problem!!
Would running your program be about the same thing - that I would have
to remember to run the tool on the report? I suspect so.
Is it possible - within VFP7 - to Add something to the Menu system? Like
under TOOLS?
Thanks again,
-K-

Hi Kurt,
Since you are working in VFP 7, I don't know that either of the blog
entries
will help.
You're probably better creating a menu item, or prg to launch the report
editor in VFP 7.
If anyone wants to chime in about the code, please do so.
Something like this:
LPARAMETERS ReportName
MODIFY REPORT (ReportName)
USE FORCEEXT(ReportName, "FRX") IN 0 SHARED ALIAS FixReport
LOCATE FOR ObjCode = 53
LOCAL ExprText, ExprLines[1], ExprLoop
ExprText = ""
FOR ExprLoop = 1 to ALINES(ExprLines, FixReport.Expr)
IF UPPER(ExprLines[ExprLoop]) = "DEVICE="
LOOP
ENDIF
IF UPPER(ExprLines[ExprLoop]) = "DRIVER="
LOOP
ENDIF
IF UPPER(ExprLines[ExprLoop]) = "OUTPUT="
LOOP
ENDIF
ExprText = ExprText + ExprLines[ExprLoop] + CHR(13) + CHR(10)
NEXT
REPLACE FixReport.Tag WITH "", ;
FixReport.Tag2 WITH "", ;
FixReport.Expr WITH ExprText ;
NEXT 1 IN FixReport
USE IN SELECT("FixReport")
