I'm not at all fond of printing forms... you can save the form as a report,
and use DoCmd.OpenReport with the WhereCondition argument to select just the
currently displayed record to be printed. Using the PageSetup on the File
menu, you can select landscape mode; that should carry through to
distributed copies (unless you have a copy of Access 2000 that doesn't have
the Service Packs up to date).

Create a Report (in landscape view), based on the same recordsource as
the Form, and print *that*. Forms are designed for onscreen use,
reports for printing!
