Heya Jeff -
this is a reverse of 'strip the frx' before printing. .. .
here goes ...
1. in the vfp ide - pick a printer.
2. in the vfp report writer - change the page setup [and look for the tray
you want]
3. preview the report.
4. close the report - and ..
a. open the report file as a table
b. go to record one
c. grab the ADDITIONAL INFO you get in the tag, tag2, and expr fields
d. STUDY IT - seeing which escape sequence, binary code selects the tray
you want.
e. make it a data string somewhere ... and then....
5. make a printer prg file that sets up the printer that you want, and puts
the additional codes INTO the frx file, then gen the report.
hth - mondo regards [Bill]
