Layout: landscape 8.5" by 14"

[GaryE]

Server: FMP Server 5 hosting on Windows 2000 Server OS

Clients: FMP 5.5 on Windows NT and XP Pro

I have an application running successfully in the above environment that for end users requires no knowledge of FMP, operating systems, and little knowledge of computers: just follow onscreen instructions, click on buttons, select from menu items, radio buttons, lists, etc. Calculations run in the background, and the end user clicks on a button to print the report. It takes only minutes to train a new user.

I am writing a new application with data entry screens and reports that I want to print on 8.5" by 11" paper in portrait mode = no problem. But I also need an additional report that must print in landscape mode on 8.5" by 14" paper. I want to protect the end user from having to know anything about print previews, print dialogue boxes, changing from portrait to landscape mode, etc. I want to automate it as I did with the existing application. How to accomplish the long landscape report is not apparent to me. I will appreciate any and all guidance. My skill level is above novice, but far short of advanced. Thank you.

Set the Page Setup to Legal, Landscape. Then add a Page Setup script step to your report script so that it remembers the setting.
