Is there some way to change the orientation of a page within a report using Crystal Reports XI? I have an 8 page report, but I need one of the pages to be landscape instead of portrait due to space limitations. Thanks in advance for any help.

I am thinking not, since it is not controlled via a formula....But, and I don't know if this will work, but it may be worth a try... can you create the page as a subreport and then rotate it in the main report?  You would probably need to suppress everything else, but it might be something to try.
 
Hope it helps, or leads to a path that does.

I've done a lot of testing with this, including subreports and setting up printer escape codes within the report.  Unfortunately, there is no way to do this.

This may be a feature in CR 2008.

Haven't upgraded yet but based on what I've read there does appear to be the option to change the page orientation for each section in the report.

Thanks for all your help.  I was able to rearrange the data to fit in a portrait orientation.

How did you do this in XI?  I need my report header to be portrait and the rest, starting a new page, to be landscape.

Can't be done in XI.

I didn't think so, but tknapik said that he/she did it.

If you read it again, tknapik said the report was reformatted to fit everything in portrait format.
