Very Computer

I have tried for hours to solve this one.
Using Crystral Reports Pro 6.0 and VB5.0 Enterprise

To print a report to a printer other then the one specified within the
report. I use the CRPEAUTO object for generating and printing reports. I do
not seem to be able to specify the layout of the report ie Landscape or
Portrait. The code is as follows
 This has been trimmed to show just the WORKS ORDER printing.

Even though I set the paper orientation to 2 (landscape) it prints out in
Portrait. But if the printer specified by user is same as one within the
report, the report is printed out in Landscape. the differencc being that
the SelectPrinter method of the Report object does not get called if the
printer selected is the same as the one specified within the report.

appMain object is created with the following statement when the program is
started
    Set appMain = CreateObject("Crystal.CRPE.Application")

I could get around this by creating reports for each possible type of
Printer and using the relevant report with the selected printer but this to
me seems to be rather longwinded and untidy,not to mention,a nightmare to
maintain.

Thanks for your time and help in advance, any help or ideas will be
appreciated as I am stumped for the moment.

Lavesh.
