Best print option for multipage reports
Looking for comments on the BEST print option for reporting. The reports are very dynamic and can be multiple pages horizontal and vertical. Our application has multiple user choices for output including AHTML, Excel, Pivot, PDF and PPT. It seems that some stylesheet commands get overridden by the user setting in the output option.... for example PDF settings seem to override the stylesheet page layout. Im looking for experiences .. commments.

Also there are two articles by Mickey Grackin, a frequent poster, on styleing at this link:

Look under the Formatting Reports section.

You can alway code multiple stylesheets and use -IF statements testing for your output format to determine which one to use. Remember at the end of each section to -GOTO STYLEEND;
where STYLEEND would be just your ENDSTYLE and END statements.

Can you write an if statement to send a report to the printer and the output would be duplex?

I haven't ever done that, but if you can do it without amper variables you can do it with amper variables.
