David,
I tried ur methos and applied it to my own codes like the following:

set printer to default
set console off
set device to prin
set printer on
keyboard '{tab}'
keyboard 'alt+a' && chooses landcape when the printer dialog box comes up
= sys(1037)

The "Print setup" dialog box appears but even though i selected landscape, my program still prints my report in potrait orientation. Why oh why? I surely hope you can cure my confusion. Thanks a lot. :)

Susan
