Landscaping the data report works, but printer defaults to portrait...

It seems as though some people have had problems getting their data reports to be landscaped. I had no problems doing this.

However, when I try to print a landscaped report, the printer always defaults to portrait orientation. The code "Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape" doesn't seem to be doing the job.

Just so you know, I'm using VB6 SP5, and the following lines of code:

Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape
DataReport.Orientation = rptOrientLandscape

Any suggestions on how to change the printer object's orientation?

Just to clarify, the report will print out landscape if I tell it to print without a prompt. It's only when I tell it to print with a prompt that it changes the printer orientation to portrait...even when the printer's default is set to landscape in the Windows Printers control panel!

I still have problems trying to view in landscape...
the code is the same like yours....what is the maximum sizes from the report ?....besides that I have this problem that when after viewing the report, I close it and try to click the preview button again, it got this error -2147418113 (800ffff)' Catastrophic failure.
Here is my coding..hope you can help

Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
UpdateRecord

ISOProject.cmdReturnSupp_Grouping autoReturnToSupp
rptreturnsupp.Show
End Sub
