How to set Report for default landscape mode and legal size

[ashnam10]

Hi all,
I am using foxprow 2.6 for windows and defined a report in it. I want to set it to print it in landscape mode and legal size paper. My all other reports should print in default A4 size or the size selected on client machine and printer. The OS can be 98,XP or 2000.

I have tried hacking the frx by removing tag,tag2 and expr.
but then it resets to default size of the client printer. Even substituiting ORIENTATION=1 and PAPERSIZE=5 IN Expr field has no effect.

This is very urgent and I do not want the client to set it in his default printer every time he wants to print the report and go back and reset it.
So pl help me urgently.
Thanks in advance.

Did you try to go to the menu File->Page SetUp->Print SetUp while in the report designer?

Thanks for your reply but I want to make it independent of designed computers printer defination. So I open the .frx and empty tag, tag2 and expr fields so the settings are cleared.

I want to set them are run time only.

Can u help me into it.
