We have Infomaker 2021.  A report that was previously displaying in Landscape orientation is now only showing in Portrait.  We have verified the Print Specifications, and it is set to Landscape.  We tried creating a brand new report in Landscape as a test, but it also displays in Portrait.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Muffin;

   Setting the print specifications to Landscape should do it.

   FWIW: Try turning in the "Prompt Before Printing" on a report to test if the default printer allows that Landscape option. It might be the printer / print driver that you are using that is changing the behaviour.

Regards ... Chris

The print specifications are set to Landscape. But it is not working. That is why I am asking.

I know ... That is why I was asking you to try the "Prompt Before Printing" ON option as well to see if changing printers or tweaking the Printer's settings before the actual printing commences, helps to get the landscape request to work.

As it turns out, there was not a printer installed on the workstation I was using.  Once we installed a printer, the display was fixed.  Thank you very much for your help.
