Does the printer have special codes which invoke the Landscape mode? (This
would be in the manual.)  I would either 

(a) set up a custom printer using the landscape codes. Set up another FX and
make the necessary changes, either in the init string or in one of the printer
option codes. 

(b) write a macro which downloads the Epson's landscape code to the printer
while in the report's "How many copies?" screen.  I think I can point you to
the TEXAS II disks where I explained how to do this, if needed.

Or, how about setting the Platen width of the Epson to the max allowed, then
set the data base report  margins accordingly?  (PW, RM, LM). Oops, not a
wide-carriage printer then? Never mind.

You could also copy the data to the clipboard and then to the spreadsheet, then
use SideSpread. 

Get a DeskJet 500 printer or other DJ of the 500 series. Its Landscape mode is
built in to AW5 and works great.

I've never tested it, but I don't think  Sideways will work with AW5 files,
especially not with data base files.

Just some ideas....
