Sorry if this has been asked before...

Is it possible to print both landscape AND portrait on a single page using DCPRINT ?

Rick,
Am i misreading the code ?? this looks like printing landscape and portrait on separate pages within the same printout. I'm wondering if it's possible to do both on a SINGLE page..

A single page can not be both - it is portrait or landscape.

Hi,

I didn't try it, but what is the above sample doing when the ENDPRINT is not excuted. Maybe it prints two pages on each other?

As far as i know you can rotate text with DCPRINT?

I really don't know either, but I doubt that my printer will flip the page on its side. I think it would break the printer. :mrgreen:
