Change Page Orientation on subreport

[paqguy]

I'd like to print my first page portrait and the second page (or subreport) in landscape. I'm thinking I can just setup the second page so that the text is rotated 90 degrees and make it "look" like landscape.

Anybody have experience doing this??

Shaun,

If the second page is a sub-report, you can format the sub-report to print in landscape (through File >> Printer Setup) and leave the main report as portrait.

I just tried stinsman's solution in Crystal 8.5, and it didn't work. Whether you changed fomr the main report or the subreport, both changed. Which version of Crystal are we talking about?

Unless this changed in higher versions, I believe a subreport always takes on the orientation of the main report. I don't think rotating the text will mimic a landscape orientation very well, since the sections themselves won't rotate. The only way this might work is if you only have one record per subreport execution, perhaps a memo field.

well, I am currently using version 9 and i haven't had a chance to try out changing the orientation on my report ... I'll let you know how I make out. Thank you for the feedback.
