Hi CobolDinos
Well, my application can't ask the user to downlaod and install activeX control. I want the page to be printed without any user help.
About PDF, do you mean i should have a ready made converted PDF and forwarded to the client when printing ??? Unfortunately, my report is generated dynamically.
Thanks a lot, i started to be frustrated, especially Master experts like you push be to blame browsers which do not support that.
Thanks again
I tried this link, and it works perfectly. Check it out:

Thanks coderlen,
but thers is somthing mysterious for me : When I save the page from my IE , it adds the following on the 2nd line of the page
<!-- saved from url=(0063)http://web.tampa
and by removing this line , the printing fails to rotate the table.
I can't understand the role of that line or if i have to insert it in my files ??
hrer are you points any way.
Thanks
Apparently, this is a way of Internet Explorer storing where the page came from. Check out this link for further explanation:

Why it fails to rotate the table when you remove that line is beyond me. But Microsoft is not going to release the source code to their web browser, so who knows what IE is doing.
I hope that answers your question. But your question is solved, so don't worry about it.
BTW, thanks for the points and the grade.

You need to use an activeX control such as:http://www.meadroid.com
Or convert to a print friendly format like PDF
