I am using VMP4 (07/12/2001 build) and VFP6 (SP5) under WIN98 SE.

ITEM #1:
========
I have been playing around with the XXFWFRM\frmReportDestinationSPF 
classs and have noticed that the default value for 
cmdGetFile1.icFileNameCaption appears to be ' ' (i.e., space(1)) 
instead of being empty (i.e., space(0) and display "(None)" on the 
property sheet). With the default value (i.e., space(1)) , the 
GETFILE screen displays no text for parameter #2 (e.g., cText or 
.icFileNameCaption) as it should if space(1) is the desired default 
value. However, setting .icFileNameCaption to space(0) displays 
"File name:" on the GETFILE screen for parameter #2 which is VFP's 
default value.

ITEM #2:
========
I have been testing my VMP4 apps under various OS platforms (e.g., Win
9x, Win NT4, Win2000). In the past, I have populated the default
value of ctrGetFile1.txtFileName with the path of the Windows TEMP
folder + the FRX name + the appropriate file extension (e.g., TXT,
PDF, XLS, etc.). However, in the later OS versions, not all users
have easy access to their Windows TEMP folder (e.g., the folder may be
hidden and the user may not know how to un-hide the folder); so, I now
direct FILE output to the "My Documents" folder as the default. If
for some reason the My Doc folder does not exist, the default becomes
the Windows TEMP folder, and should the Window TEMP folder not exist
the default becomes SYS(2023).

I have subclassed XXFWFRM\frmReportDestinationSPF and I have tweaked
several PEMs so when the File output option is selected the default
value of ctrGetFile1.txtFileName gets populated with the destination
path + the FRX name + the appropriate file extension. My code uses a
PUBLIC variable to supply the FRX name, but modifiying the
x3wrpfrm.prg to allow an extra parameter and modifying the
frmReportDestinationSPF.INIT() to process this parameter is one way to
avoid the use of PUBLIC variables (I am sure you know many more ways
than I do).

Below are the code snippets I used which you may find useful for
future enhancements.
