Report Orientation on Run Time

DynamicUser

Hi Friends,

I am creating one report where the content of the report is same. But user takes print out of the report either landscape or portrait.

Now my question is can end-user decide orientation at run time?

When you run a report and the Filters / Options form opens up, there is a page setup option. If your report fits in both orientations I don't see a problem... Is there a specific issue you are facing?

After CTRL+R the report then goto File-Pagesetup from there you can set all the properties to be print.

I am really sorry that my question is not specific. It is not going as deep as per requirement.

Let me specify one more time.

I have table called "job". I am using two body section called Body(1) and Body(2) in body(1) the text format is in landscape & Body(2) the text format is in portrait orientation. The body content of both the sections are same, just orientation is the matter.

When I run the report, request form comes and user select job no. On Clicking of preview or run user decides whether landscape or portrait section should run.

Looking for help.

You can use the CurrReport.SHOWOUTPUT command to control which section will print.

What is the problem? Should the user see the preview first and based on that print the report in either landscape or portrait. Or should the request-form have an option landscape/portrait?

If you would like to have a request form, and then a second request form for the landscape/portrait mode, then you should seek another solution, but you can edit the original request form with an filter on job and an options tab with your format.
