A2K - can I print a FORM in landscape mode?

I'm in the situation of having to print a form - not a report. This will
fit nicely in a landscape format but by default it prints portrait. Is
there any code to make it play nice?

Open the form, then click on File + Page SetUp + Page
Set the orientation to Landscape and save the change.

However, printing the form from the form view is not efficient and you
are quite limited as to what you can do.
Save the form as a report (right-click on the form name and then
select "Save as Report"). Then print the report. You now have the all
advantages that printing reports have.

Thanks that sorted it for now. My fault for letting it get into this
situation (this was work that was done for me).

FredG,
I didn't know about the "Save As Report" feature. Great.

One caveat for the original poster....
If you're using an unbound record source, then you may be fine. But if your
record source is a 10,000 record table or query, then your user may kill a
lot of trees....

Thanks,
Fred Zuckerman (fredz)

I tried posting earlier and it never showed up.. I have a simple program to print a text file. I need to know how to change the page settings to landscape if it is not already in ladnscape mode. I do not want to use a dialog to do it and this appears the only way you can do it. I just need it to spit out the print in landscape orientation. Why is this so hard to do for something that should be easy.

Hi, I want to print in Landscape format from an aspx page (when ever the user chooses print from the browser or a print button on the form). I load aspx controls dynamically on the page. I used the following style sheet with which I was able to print in Landscape mode, if there is no <form> tag on the page. <style type="text/css" media="print"> DIV.page { MARGIN: 10% 0%; WRITING-MODE: tb-rl; HEIGHT: 80% }
