Default report format portrait and lanscape

Is it possible to have one command to change report between portait or
lanscape?

If not, probably the best solution will be 2 reports.


Your information is great appreciated,

Your report is probably designed in portrait. This means it is designed to
print 8-1/2" - the left and right margins wide. If you change the printout
to landscape it is still going to print less than 8-1/2" wide on the left
side of the paper leaving more than 3-1/2" blank on the roght side of the
paper. To fill the paper you would have to write code to reposition and
stretch out each control. That being daunting, it would be much simpler to
just create a new landscape report.
