Hoe can I set Printer Orientation for Crystal report from VB?

[denko]

Is there a way to set Printer Orientation for a Crystal report from VB. My default orientation for printer set to Portrait but report should print in Landscape. On some printers in does not work and want to force Crystal to change orientation from Vb code?
Thanks

There is a FAQ in one of the Crystal forums that outlines how to set printer properties:

so easy
mycrystalreport.PaperOrientation=crDefaultPaperOrientation
=crLandscape
=crPortrait

but be carefull to add referance to your project

"crystal report activex designer design and runtime librery"

 

[denko]

Unfortunately, I'm using CR6 and PaperOrientation is not one of the properties for CR object. Vb produces an error -Object does not support this property or method.
Does anyone know maybe it's possible to download those dlls to make Orientation property available?

Thanks

Have you tried to change it using Printer object property?

 

[denko]

Yes but it does not work in my case, any other ideas?
Thanks

the other ideas
-recreat your report using crystal report activex designer.
-or in cr6 create 2 reports one in landscape and one in Portrait then switch between those two reports as it is required.

but this should not stop you keep searching for set Orientation from vb code.

denko What do you mean saying Printer object did not work in your case?
