hacking FRX 1

[tondi]

The various threads I have seen re: 'hacking FRX'
reference VFP. Is doing so possible with FPW26?

Tony,
Yes, but only the TAG and TAG2 fields apply - there shouldnt be anything in the EXPR field. It should be the first record - Objtype=1, Objcode=53.

Thanks Rick,
BUT how can I edit the file?

Try:

USE myreport.frx
LOCATE
*or GO TOP or LOCATE FOR Objtype=1 and Objcode=53 (if you're paranoid!)
REPLACE Tag WITH "", Tag2 WITH ""
USE && close it

You'll need to do this ANYTIME you make a change to the report (MODIFY REPORT ...), and before you build the .EXE.

Thanks Rick,
Your little routine cleared the Tag and Tag2 fields for me.
I assume this will help avoid conflicts with various printers and/or printer setups. I did notice that my Tag and Tag2 fields did contain several different printers,
local and/or network, depending on what computer the FRX was created and/or tested on.
