Printer Orientation not changing after poorly coded program

1 New Member
we received a access 97 database that runs on Windows 2000 workstations.

Before the program added to the system everything worked correctly on the computers. Reports that were landscape showed landscape, portrait showed as portrait.

After the program was executed the first time - all the apps on the system show all the reports as portrait. even if you change the default printer settings to landscape. It changes back to portrait.

This has caused mass chaos on our systems. We tried rebooting the workstations but the setting still remains. I searched through the registry and have found nothing - I also do not see any ini files with the settings. The original developer is absolutely clueless and does not know why it would have done this. I have now inherited this problem.

Basically, any ideas on how to clear this setting, where to start searching, any possible answers. all I have found so far is a rpt.printer.ori entation in the code - not sure how to get the system to set back to default.

I am using VB6 SP6. I have an application that prints charts. Specifically, it prints line charts of plant process information nightly. The code is a mix of API calls and Printer methods. I am currently migrating to a new PC running XP.

I have been experimenting with the new Printer object in Access 2002 and discovered some unexpected database bloat. Simply assigning the same value to a property of a report's Printer object will cause the database to grow. Here's my test code: Public Sub ChangeReportSettings( _ sReport As String, _ sDeviceName As String, _ Optional nIterations As Long = 1)

My Access 2000 code has been running for several years in our main plant. Now we need to install it, as a stand-along application, at remote sites, some of which are out of state. My problem is the printer destination for special reports such as stickers and mailing labels. The Mailing Label report is, of course, designed here for a specific printer (Mailing Label). At another site, the name could be completely different. Other than...

Hi All, I am using the PrtDevMode property of a report open in design view to try and flip the orientation of the report between Portrait and Landscape in a user control box before the report is opened. I pretty much used the example out of the help verbatim and Im not having any luck with it working. I thought originally that because some of my controls (Lines) extended to the right margin of the report (designed in Landscape) that...

I need to set some properties for the printer such as "The Printer to Print too", Page settings such as paper type (according to the list associated with the printer driver itself) and orientation...

Hello I need to display and then automatically print a PDF file. I'm using AxAcroPDF to display the PDF. AxAcroPDF class has a very good method: printAll(). The only thing is that I need to print as landscape. AxAcroPDF doesn't allow me to change the paper orientation (in fact doesn't support any setting changing). To workaround, I need to set the paper orientation of the default

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
