I have a problem printing a report in A5 portrait format; this print
should so shown:

|---------------------|
| |
| REPORT FORMATO A5 |
| |
|---------------------|

I'm triyng to set print options, page setup in access and via vba
printer object, but the results are the same: that page printed is
routed of 90° (but on monitor is correct).

This is a problem with report print on fax, because A5 print is better
if long side of A5 sheet corresponds to short side of the fax/printer;
this to don't trash paper and to make print fast (30%).

Error print:
/----------------------| [fax] |
| |
| ______ |
------- | |--------
| (A5) |
| |
| |
| |
|______|


Desidered print:
/----------------------| [fax] |
| |
| ____________ |
------| |-----
| (A5) |
|___________|


The only solutions found is to made a report in A4 landscape format
with a big height margin; this is a resolution in print to a phisical
printer, not with fax and is awful to monitor preview.

Thanks.

I've found a solution:
if I print in PORTRAIT with "A5 turned" (in italian is "A5 ruotato), I have the right printing.

Hope to be useful,
Bye
