Thanks Mark, but the problem remains.
I'm using the following...
on mouseup
answer printer
if the result is empty then
print this card
end if
end mouseup
for Mac which works fine. This is the same code that you suggest for Win.
I've created a test stack and *still* can't change the orientation on the
pag, and I know that its not just my machine.
The product is now on test with 10 of our consultants. The 2 with Macs said
the print button works 'OK'. 4 of those with PC's have the same problem,
when the orientation is changed in the Page Setup, MC seems to ignore it. (I
guess the other 4 have yet to install the product).
So any suggestions ? Please.... anyone ....?
Regards
Gary Rathbone
