From: Helge Haensel on 7 Aug 2006 05:16 Hallo NG! WindowsXP/HE SP2, OfficeXP/Pro SP3, VB5E I am using the following code to print a document Printer.EndDoc Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape cdlStandard.ShowPrinter Form2.Frame2.Visible = False Form2.PrintForm Printer.EndDoc Form2.Frame2.Visible = True Always the print comes in portrait orientation and also the dialog ist mostly not shown. I have an other big VB5-job, where landscaping works! Also with Excel or Word printing is allright. The printer is a hp970cxi with updated driver. Any hints please? Vy 73! Helge -- Helge, DJ1WM No eMails please

Mike Williams will pop up and explain that Form.PrintForm is a load of rubbish and should never be used I vaguely remember him saying that it overrides the orientation, but regardless of that it has plenty of other drawbacks If you search this and other related NGs you'll find that he has posted a reliable way of printing Forms a fair number of times

It looks very promising. It does landscaping from the dialogbox. On the other hand: A selected PDF-Printer prints to my hardware printer. And how do I pass parameters to the printer. I have 300 cards to and need the dialog just once. I think I have to dim them public and paste them into Mikes's routine. OK, great fun. Will continue testing/trying. Helge

I need to print different forms - of course with all its controls. Helge |
