Rotate report 180 degrees

Is it possible to rotate a report 180 degrees? I need to create a report
that prints on a form and the report need to be rotated 180 degrees for it
to work.

As far as I know, there is not. Sorry that I could not be of greater
assistance.

I have had success in reproducing an entire form in the report
designer (with boxes, labels, and images), so that we did not need to
print to special paper stock.
If you need to print to specialized forms, I think what you are asking
is possible, but will require post-processing work that will take some
serious investigation and development work.
Two possible approaches -
1) Render the reports in Image format, then call an image processing
program to 'flip' and print the image. Obviously, this will be easier
if you are doing a one-page report, but it sounds like you might be,
from your description. You might be able to do this with native VB.NET
or C# capabilities, or with an imaging add-in.
Note that you can save your rendered report files to some kind of
output folder, and use that as an input folder for the post processing
operations.
If this is an infrequent need, you could manually flip the output
files in Paint. In any case there would be some trial and error to get
the registration correct.
2) Render the report to PDF (Acrobat), and then find an extension or
component that will let you flip the PDF pages. If you have the full
Acrobat application (not just the reader), you may be able to do this
with Acrobat. The advantage here would be smaller output files and
better output rendering.|||Isn't 180 degrees equivalent to printing it upside down?
Do you mean 90 degrees?
If so, surely you can simply change the PageSize in the report
properties from 8.5x11 to 11x8.5 and it will rotate it from portrait
to landscape...
You also need to change the InteractiveSize to correspond to the size
of the actual report width and then put 8.5 as the height.
