Joe....thanks for your help......What I am printing out is going to be a big table that will only fit on the page if I have it in landscape mode....So I want to only allow it to print in landscape mode which is what you seem to meantion here....
Can you explain a little more on how I would do this..... 1) How can I ignore the users setting and be sure it is in landscape? 2) when I call g.Drawstring I want to print up and down instead of side to side is that correct? How do I get Draw string to do this?? Wade --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On May 01, 2006, at 20:29 UTC, I wrote: > > > I don't think there is anything you can pass there > to do that.
