I want to make a copy of a report, changing the printer. (I need to use a printer with A3 and Courier New,8 to print to a text file with sufficient width).
No matter what I do it stays locked to the default printer.
Any suggestions please
I could change the printer when creating my report or when printing.
When I create my new report I 'use' the existing report then
copy to MyReport.frx
use MyReport;
repl expr, tag and tag2 with ""
repl expr with all the values I want.
repl fontface and fontsize
modi repo myreport &&allows installer to tune the report.
But Page Setup still shows the Windows default printer.
I wondered about SET PRINTER TO NAME ...- but how can I find the server name?. (This is in a utility which could be used anywhere, so I don't want anything interactive.) I'd have the same problem when setting it back to whatever it started with.
Do I need to 'compile' the report to replace tag/tag2?
Sorry that's so long winded.
