SUMMARY

Visual FoxPro uses a temporary file when you print or preview an unsaved new Report file. This is different from version 2.6 where it used the file name Untitled.frx.

MORE INFORMATION

If you create a new report file in Visual FoxPro, it will be named Report1. When you select Run Report from the Report menu, this command is generated:
   REPORT FORM C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\08824737.TMP NOEJECT NOCONSOLE TO PRINTER
				
In FoxPro version 2.x the same type of procedure (choosing Report from the Database menu) generates this command:
   REPORT FORM C:\fpw\untitled.frx ENVIRONMENT TO PRINTER
