Printing data report in landscape

[RiverGuy]

Does anyone know how to print a data report in landscape from code? Using syntax similar to datareport1.printreport. But I would like it to default to landscape every time.

Thanks

This should set the Orientation to Portrait/Landscape. After it's set, just print/preview your report as normal.

Portrait:

DataReport1.Orientation = 0

Landscape:

DataReport1.Orientation = 1

Are you sure its not a property within a propert? I get member not defined when I use "Orientation"

Thanks Jonathan

I'm sorry, I did make a mistake there.

Portrait:

DataReport1.Orientation = 1

Landscape:

DataReport1.Orientation = 2

I'm sure it's not a property within a property. Just for grins, make sure Orientation is a property when you do

DataReport1.

in your code. Orientation should be listed in the "List Properties/Methods" list that pops up.

I have tested this, with success, on my own Data Reports built inside of Visual Basic. There was a bug with Visual Basic resetting itself to Portrait Orientation at one point; however, if you're using the latest Service Pack, you won't have that problem. If you're not running the latest SP, I would suggest downloading it.

I don't have that property listed at all. Maybe the latest service pack will have it. Unless there are other Data Report components I need to reference.
