Default Me.PrintForm - landscape

Thanks Dave, Tom and Orlando.
What a lot of code for what seemed a simple problem.
I'll try it later.

Once again, thanks.

Modification of code originally posted by
"Orlando Magalhães Filho"

Modified to capture just the userform (not the whole window).

In a general module:

Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, _
ByVal bScan As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)

Public Const VK_SNAPSHOT = 44
Public Const VK_LMENU = 164
Public Const KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 2
Public Const KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY = 1


Sub Test()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub


In the userform module:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
' keybd_event VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, 0, 0
DoEvents
keybd_event VK_LMENU, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY, 0
keybd_event VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY, 0
keybd_event VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY + _
KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0
keybd_event VK_LMENU, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY + _
KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0
DoEvents
Workbooks.Add
Application.Wait Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="Bitmap", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
'added to force landscape
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.orientation = xlLandscape
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
End Sub

I added a line that changed the orientation to landscape.

I've set up my form, filled it in, and now I want to print it.
Me.PrintForm does print the form but it prints portrait.
I want it printed landscape.
Any one know how to do it?
