  read your programmers manual Access report objects from code.
  as i stated before duplex is a property of the design page, when set the page(s) output by the engine will be printed using duplex mode.
  typical
  var
  
  Page1: TfrxReportPage;
  
  begin
  frxreport1.loadfromfile('path&filename.fr3');
  Page1 := frxReport1.Pages[1] as TfrxReportPage;
  //set any design page props here
  page1.duplex :=dmsimplex; //or dmnone or dmvertical or dmhorizontal

  Thanks for your answer.
  
  I read this but i am thinking it??s not the same with the option in the Print Options.
  
  Then it??s clear. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> but how can i find out which Option of duplex is in the PrintOptions Dialog is setting ? Because we have various Printers with Duplex and none. The Duplex Option hardcoded in the Report is not the way. Before the Print i must set the Option or not with the Printer Model.[/img]

  you must get a handle to the printer and read its props(devicecaps) or set them orchange which will be the default printer. all at delphi level before loading report.
  you can add frxprinters.pas to your uses clause
