[AccessD] Is it possible...

Bruce

...never say never ...my code library is loaded with things written by 
people here that I would have sworn were impossible in Access ...most of 
which I manage to use successfully without ever groking what they are going 
on about :)

...though I've not tried to switch orientation in the middle of a report 
myself, I know you can pause a report at a specific page, change the printer 
tray, print a page from that tray, and then pause and change back using the 
printdev mode properties as in mskb 200546 ...so long as the printer driver 
supports those properties ...and since page orientation is also a property 
of printdev mode, it would seem worth the time to try changing it at the 
same time you change printer trays using virtually the same code.

...if not, then you might have to look at creating separate reports and 
numbering the pages of each correctly.

...or if you want to walk on the wild side, use Lebans rotate text code to 
brute force design a portrait formatted subreport to look like a landscape 
format.

...if you do get it to work, let us in on the secret, eh.
