Multiple page layouts?

[Big Pat]

Hi,

Is it possible to have part of a report set to portrait, but another part set to landscape? Like you can in Word by adding section breaks and setting the page layout separately for each section?

I have a "MainReport" comprised of 5 sub reports which are all portrait. Now I've been asked to add a 6th section and it will need to be landscape. I tried and tried to get it all on a portrait page but it's just too cramped.

I could keep them as two reports and have the command button simply run the second one at the same time. The thing is, that button "prints" the main report to a PDF file and emails it. And I don't want the new report to be in a separate PDF.

If you can't have separate sections, then is there any way to print separate Access reports into a single PDF? I'm using CutePDF but would be open to trying a different PDF printer if appropriate.

Thanks,

Pat

As far as I know... No.

Post a pic with this new subreport.
Maybe someone have an idea about how to fit the information in a portrait layout

Thanks for your reply and sorry for taking a few days to get back to you. I came to the same conclusion as you, that it would just HAVE to be done in portrait. So we dispensed with one column that we decided was not absolutely crucial, abbreviated another, and moved a third to to a sub header.

So we got there in the end, necessity being the mother of invention!

So we dispensed with one column ....... and moved a third to to a sub header.

Do you know that "columns" can be stacked in the same header ? Of course it is necessary to move also the label, in order to have a name for each information.
It is why I said to you to post a pic.
