how specify paper orientation using DeviceInfo string for printin

Hello,

I found some code for printing a report (.rdlc) file without using the
ReportViewer control. This code prints in the Portrait orientation which I
presume is the default orientation. I am guessing there is a tag for paper
orientation but I don't know what that tag name is. Does anyone know how you
can specify landscape orientation with this deviceInfo string?

string deviceInfo =
"<DeviceInf o>" +
"<OutputFormat> EMF</OutputFormat>" +
"<PageWidth>8.5 in</PageWidth>" +
"<PageHeight>11 in</PageHeight>" +
"<MarginTop>0.2 5in</MarginTop>" +
"<MarginLeft>0. 25in</MarginLeft>" +
"<MarginRight>0 .25in</MarginRight>" +
"<MarginBottom> 0.25in</MarginBottom>" +
"</DeviceInfo>";

I tried using this field name
<DeviceOrientat ion>landscape</DeviceOrientati on which did not have any
effect - still printing in Portrait:

string deviceInfo =
"<DeviceInf o>" +
"<OutputFormat> EMF</OutputFormat>" +
"<PageWidth>8.5 in</PageWidth>" +
"<PageHeight>11 in</PageHeight>" +
"<MarginTop>0.2 5in</MarginTop>" +
"<MarginLeft>0. 25in</MarginLeft>" +
"<MarginRight>0 .25in</MarginRight>" +
"<MarginBottom> 0.25in</MarginBottom>" +
"<DeviceOrienta tion>landscape</DeviceOrientati on>" +
"</DeviceInfo>";

When I export xml(and xls) from Access 2003 the result is a complete report in a single page. I would like to get the entire report in a single page (one trip to the server) for printing and scrolling-preview, but with page breaks and page numbering appropriate to the paper size. I have a sense that this can be done in xsl, since xsl defines the format for everything else in the report. My goal is to avoid the time and expense of...

Access 2003. I've set the report orientation to landscape using VB. The report that pops up is in Portrait view, but page orientation is correctly set to Landscape and it prints in landscape orientation. The really odd thing is that if I step through the code using F8, it will open in PrintPreview Mode as Landscape. The relevant code is as follows. rpt.Section(acDetail).Visible = False With rpt .Printer.Orientation =...
