My client requires the sample identification to be on every page of my reports. We use hp 5972s'. The problem is that the software by convention places the data file id on each page that ends in (.d) My client doesn't want to see the .d at the end. Does anyone have a fix for this?

There are a few different places where the software generates a header for reports; it can be a bit of work to track down which macro is being used on your particular installations.
The data file is referenved by the variable "_datafile$". You can express it in the manner you need by using "_datafile$[1:len(_datafile$)-2]" instead. The tricky part is finding out which macro is generating the header.
