Yes...it should be there....You can even set up the report to print to a plotter if you wanted too.

All you need is the driver for that printer and install it on your machine....you will not be able to print of course unless you have the printer but that doesn't seem to be your problem.

This is most commonly done when someone wants an extremely wide report and wishes to export the result to Excel

Thanks Ngolem ,
I did exactly that .I downloaded the driver for a plotter HP Designjet 1050 ps3 and was able to use roll feed and get a custom page size of up to 120 inches.However my manager wants an Unlimited page size...........Any idea how i can do this....looks like plotter drives have a limitation od page sizes too..Know of any plotter driver which allows unlimited page size defination in its page size and has a downloadable driver.
Thanks in anticipation.........

tell your manager that there are limitations to everything.

I'll take that back

You just have to search for the correct Plotter. I have to have banners printed for a Bridge tournament and I am doing them in a bitmap that will be 3' by 50'. This is being printed at Kinkos and then sliced out.

So check with printing companies and find out what plotters they use for such jobs.
