Different page orientation in same report

[bdm1]

In a 2 page report, is it possible to have the first page print landscape and the second page print portrait orientation? If so, this would allow for duplex printing rather than printing the first page, reinserting and printing the second page. This second page would also have to be a second report which I would like to avoid doing since both pages are personalized and the chance for mistakes, that is the first page address does not match the one on the second page. Will gratefully accept any suggestions. Thanks

If you're using 2K2 or later, have a look here:

ProgramError, genomon,

thank you for your tips. however, looking at acprintorientation and the printer settings article i still don't see a way of changing orientation page-by-page. it didn't work for report header (portrait) - detail (landscape) -- it responds to the Printer.Orientation command by setting orientation for the entire report.

You can't print sections differently, but you can print pages differently by using a series of print commands, each referencing a range of pages.
