[AccessD] Landscape Form Printing

Just a couple of observations.  You dim rpt as printer but you never
populate the object variable, so I'm not surprised by the error you're
getting.  It's absolutely factual - you haven't set the rpt as any
object, you just declared it.  Duplexing printers generally do not allow
a 1/2" bottom margin because they use a wider margin in order to grab
the paper.  You appear to be setting the orientation to portrait, not
landscape and the margin affected by duplexing is at the bottom of the
portrait page (right margin in landscape).

Good Afternoon,
 
I have the following code in Access XP, behind a button.  I am trying to
print the screen to the default printer in landscape.
 
Dim rpt As Printer
    
    Application.Printer = Application.Printers(0)
    
    With rpt
        .BottomMargin = 720
        .Copies = 1
        .Duplex = acPRDPVertical 'Double sided
        .PaperBin = acPRBNLargeCapacity
        .Orientation = acPRORPortrait
    End With
    DoCmd.PrintOut acPrintAll, 1, 1, acHigh, 1, True
    Set Application.Printer = Nothing
 
I get the error "Object with Block Variable not set " on the
.BottomMargin line.
 
Does any one know how to fix this?
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Dale
