Print Landscape through Crystal Report Viewer

[graydon123]

I have a Crystal Report that prints landscape. I have set it to print landscape by setting printer setup to landscape....this works as it should. However when I try to print the report through my program using a crystal report viewer, it prints portrait. How do I set my report to print landscape using a crystal report viewer with out having the user set the printer settings each time?

Thanks all!

What version of crystal was the report created in?

If you are doing development you should upgrade to a developer edition to get the documentation.

To change the printer orientation, you need to trap the print event and select a different printer or setting. Here is the code from my viewer....

Private Sub CRView_PrintButtonClicked(UseDefault As Boolean)
UseDefault = True
cRpt.PrinterSetup Me.hwnd
End Sub
