A3 sized report 1

[DaveOne]

I need to print a technical document on A3 sized paper, using Crystal (in a VB.Net environment) Is this possible - if so, how do I select an A3 Landscape print.
Cheers
Dave

When writing the report just make sure that:

1. The printer you have installed on your PC supports A3
2. In Crystal you have that printer selected.

(File-->Printer Setup, Then select the printer, paper size and orientation)

Once saved the report should use that format when printed.

Thanks jdemni - trouble is, my report consists of a giant blob then lots of information down the side.....How can I design this in Landscape mode for A3 - when it's off the design area in VB.Net

I am not sure that I follow exactly what you're trying to do. Can you provide more details?

What kind of DB are you reporting against.

Hi Jdemni,
I'm replacing an old Access system, with a new VB.Net front end. The specifications gathered by the front end are printed on an A3 sheet - consisting of a Cad diagram, with the specification as notes down the side.
I can print the diagram as Wmf format, and I can include the fields down the side.
I'm using a Cr report document as reportsource for a Cr report viewer,
BUT when I try to place all the fields in Visual Studio (i.e. format the report) - it only gives me 20cm to play with....
How can I get the formatting area to be A3 sized...or, landscape, even
Cheers
Dave
