Crystal 2008.NET - Page Orientation BUG

[Former Member]

Hi,

I use VS 2005 UK / CR 2008 UK (C# / ReportDocument / ReportViewer)

When I was using CR 8.5 (uk), I could programmatically change the Page Orientation. That was perfect.

Now that I use CR 2008, and I CAN NO MORE programmatically change the Page Orientation of any report created with CR 2008 (the change have no effect, page is always shown as designed) !!

Except in one case, if I follow the following steps itu2019s then possible to change the page orientation programmatically : Create a blank report with CR 8.5. Save It. Open it with CR 2008, design the report under CR2008 and save it.

(Also I noted that if I create a blank report with CR 8.5, re-open/re-save it in CR 2008 the size is 8.5 K, If I create the blank (or small) report with CR 2008, the size is 46 K.)

NO update/patch/pack for CR 2008 solved the problem.

Does anybody have a solution or workaround to this problem ?

Thanks.

I found the solution to this probelm : in the File/Page Settings Dialog, uncheck the "Dissociate formatting

Page Size and Printer Paper Size" checkbox.

i tried unchecking the "Dissociate formatting Page Size and Printer Paper size" and still no difference. I cannot have a page width greater that the height and orientation in PORTRAIT

Does your printer support such a setup? E.G.; can you format this same page requirement in the CR designer? If not, you may want to:

1) Download an apply SP0 to the CR 2008. SP0 is here:

2) If that does not help, post this query to the Crystal Reports Design forum:
