Set the page orientation:

datareport1.orientation = rptOrientLandscape
datareport1.show

This will then set the page as landscape.

You may need to get hold of the latest service pack
to get the above to work.

Hallo

First you will need to register the Pageset.dll on your PC (let me know if you need the file).

Code
Declare the following in module:

Public gprinter As PageSet.PrinterControl

Put the following on Report or in module:

Public Sub Set_Landscape()
On Error GoTo SetLandscapeError

Set gprinter = New PrinterControl
gprinter.ChngOrientationLandscape

Exit Sub

SetLandscapeError:
MsgBox Err.Description & "Error setting Printer to Landscape"
gprinter.ReSetOrientation

End Sub

Remember to reset orientation of printer:

gprinter.ReSetOrientation (on close/unload form)

If you are using a network printer with Windows NT 4.0, you would need to create a dummy printer on pc that points to the printer you want to use. NT denies you the ability to change printer settings on runtime. Why I don't know? (documented bug probably)

Hope this helps!!! Let me know
