Landscape To Portrait Problem From BCA on BO 5.1.6

We are currently Testing BO 5.1.6 and we are getting the old problem of report layout changing from landscape to Portrait after returning from the broadcast Agent.

Any body else is facing this problem on BO 5.1.6?

We are currently in production with 5.1.6, including BCA, and don’t seem to have that issue. The only time I’ve experienced the “flip to portrait” problem was when there was no default printer defined for a given user on the machine producing the report. The margin size also changed, in addition to orientation. My “guess” is that when no printer is defined, BO reverts to “safe” settings like portrait and wide margins. I’m not a BCA person, but you might check the default printer settings for the appropriate user ID on the BCA server.

Good luck

What is the O/S of the BCA server? Do you have all printer drivers installed on the BCA server.?

We are sending are reports to the BCA and retrieving them in full client. This is when the print layout is changed.

We’re also getting the problem with the landscape to portrait problem when opening reports sent by the BCA.

Did anyone ever come up with a fix for this issue?

Thanks!! :confused:
