I went through it but I need something that Interfaces with Crystal, some or other property that you set in code that sets the orientation to landscape... That stuff tells you how to rotate fonts and although very interesting not very helpfull

Hello,
Not tested (from memory), but something like this;

var
  CrRep : IReport ;
  CrApp: TCRApplication;
  
begin
    CrRep := CrApp.OpenReport(ReportName, crOpenReportByTempCopy) ;
    CrRep.PaperOrientation := crLandscape;
end;

It it fee-ending or fy-ending?

Nish

I've always used and heard the fy-ending.

Looks like dictionary.com agrees:

Del⋅phi
/ˈdɛlfaɪ/ [del-fahy]

Del·phi (děl'fī')

Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

Interesting - I've heard both. I suppose this is like Linux/Lynux or Nikon/Nykon.

Once upon a time there was an Oracle DB in Delphi language. Wink | ;)

AFAIK it was fee-ending.

This statement is false.

Yeah, but Americans typically change the ee-sounds to y-sounds. Example : Nikon, Linux. So I am sure lots of Americans pronounce it as Delphy (y-sound).

Delphi is a Greek word that was always pronounced Dell-fai. is in the "Oracle of Delphi"[^]. The idea of an Oracle (define: oracle[^] is a ancient thing.

There are notes on how the word is pronounced: The name Delphi is pronounced, in the English manner, as "Delf-eye" or in the Greek manner, as "Delfee" depending on regional accent. The Greek spelling transliterates as "Delphoi" (with "o" added).[^]

So, if we were to be absolutely correct, it would be pronounced Delfoy.

Ah okay, thanks Smile | :)

I realize this thread is quite old, but I stumbled across this misleading post. In Greek, the vowel combination "oi" is pronounced "ee". I realize this seems weird, but it is correct.

Dell-fai

The Oracle of Delpheye, the programming language Delphee.

(consistency is overrated).

Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

I think it's supposed to be fy but I've always pronounced it fee.
