Hi
Cany anyone assist me with a challenge I have?
Is it possible to print the first page of a Crystall XI report in Portrait and then to have all subsequent pages in landscape?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Doubt it.  If you can't program it from inside Crystal, then it probably isn't going to happen, and there is no facility for programmatically changing the page layout. 
 
You could write 2 reports, 1 for the first page and one for the rest of the report...

This is possible on Crystal Reports 2008. You have the option of entering the section expert by right clicking on the details.
Once you are in Section Expert there will be a tab on the side called Paging. At the bottom of the Paging tab you have an orientation option wich lets you do exactly that. Let me know if you need more help with this.
