can I determine if the report is landscape or Portrait ?
I saw there is not the variable logic as lportrait or lLandscape
Any Idea ?
I must change a text if the ::odevice if landscape

Rick,

If the report is in landscape I am afraid there is not enough space for the thumbnails, so it seems as there is no other way to do it.

Antonio Your suggestion worked .. unfortunately, I have at least 8-10 programs with hundreds of cumulative reports that are in landscape mode and I will have to go in and modify each one to turn off the preview panel. If I may suggest for backwards compatibility, that the preview panel ...

Just ran a multiple page report that is created in landscape mode and I just noticed the thumbnail side panel overlaps and distorts the report .. see screenshot

Only seems to happen with landscape and multiple pages.

As per my suggestion, you would just print a report in portrait for the first page, then a second report in landscape for the next three pages. And if you are using page numbers on the report, the second report would start with page no. 2.

Günther,

James's proposal seems as a very good one

No matter how many reports you have to create, you could always build them from a loop, where two different reports are created (one for portrait and the other for landscape)

To all for understanding:
I will make a report with one portrait-formatted and three landscape-formatted pages per person. The order from this pages per person is always the same. But i have 150 persons....
As i said: without preview it is OK. In the future .... Tpreview ...

Antonio, in your above code the second page are also in landscape not as portrait as programmed. WITH preview the print-output is as the preview shows and all pages are in the last programmed format. WITHOUT preview the print-output seems to be ok.

Günther,

Do you mean that you would like to see the second page on landscape from the preview ?

Antonio, the print are always on ALL pages in the last called format (portrait or landscape)! Is there no way to switch from one to another format from page to page?
BUT ONLY, if PREVIEW is active this wrong behavoir is present!
