 | I am having difficulty with orientation. Running a REP file built in dBASE
plus 2.5, set to landscape. The first page truncates the right fourth of the
page, which makes me think it is starting in portrait. The second page does
landscape just fine.
Have set _porientation to "landscape," which works with Crystal Reports (we
use 8.5), but it doesn't help here.
The only way to get it to work is to manually do chooseprinter, and click
landscape.
All help appreciated!

Have you tried looking at properties of the report?
reportname.printer.orientation := 2 // Landscape
I believe some or all of this is covered in the articles in the
Knowledgebase on working with reports ...

| Ken,
Wow, it's awesome to to see you responding like you did in the "good 'ol
days." What an asset to the dBASE community!
The properties of the report appear fine in the debugger before and after it
prints the first page wrong. I have inserted
r.printer.chooseprinter("Print Setup", true)
ahead of the r.render(), and it both displays the landscape choice
correctly, and, more importantly, it FIXES the problem. I can live with this
for a temporary workaround.
I'm guessing it's just a bug in 2.5, so I'll report it. Thanks again for
helping.
