Hi All,

Is one report in portrait and landscape possible ?

We've discovered fire, invented the mouse trap

and sent men to the moon, but can we create a report

in Crystal where the first page is in portrait and the rest

is in landscape ?

Whoa to the naysayers:

I heard "it's in the printer and printer driver and not Crystal".

Or, "One one else has ever asked for this'

Or, even worse, "Crystal just can't do it captain ! "

Shower me with your wisdom oh wise ones.

May Abhilash be with you !

I have Crystal 11.5, Windows 7, stand alone desktop

and there are no plans to upgrade.

Thanks,

Hey Jim,

I think I could do this in CR 10, and you may have it...  notice I selected Detail a. When I selected the detail in the section expert, I could not see this option.

Hi Debi,

I rarely use the Detail Section, using mostly groupings.

However, I ran this test below.  I don't see the Paging tab

that you have.

Am I in the right place ?

Thanks, Jim

You are in the right place...  I never used 11 or 11.5 though I know someone who does. I will try to reach her.

Thanks for checking.  I appreciate you trying.

Thanks again,

Doesn't look like you can do it in 11. 

If it makes you feel better, I remember trying it, but the printers could not deal with it so I never did it again.

Maybe a subreport that is landscape? Wonder if that would work.

Hi Debi,

Ha, you're the best.

I didn't think it would work, but better to ask...

The cover letter, the first page, they wanted in portrait

and the rest in landscape, so it wouldn't help to put

the cover in a sub that's set to landscape.

Thanks again,

Jim

Yes. It is in the Section Expert on the paging tab for CR 2008 - I do not remember what version you are using.

Oh hi Debi,

I just added my comment below and the page refreshed

and I see your reply.

Thank you.  I wonder why I didn't get an email about your reply.

Oh well.

Is an upgrade the only way to get this ?

It looks pretty slick.

Does it converse with the printer driver to switch

to the right paper tray no matter where it is in the report ?

Hi Debi,

The emails are now being sent to my personal gmail

account instead of my work account, which is where I

was getting them before.

It would be nice to set it back to my work account again.

( jim.sullins@tn.gov )

How can I do that ?

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Debi,

Thanks. I got in, but when I changed the email to the

old email it said it was already taken !

Then it wouldn't let me return to the forum.

Thanks,
