[AccessD] FW: Convert To PDF Problem

Carolyn:

Could I impose on you to send me those updated dlls off line (those are
dynapdf.dll and strStorage.dll, yes?).  Mine are dated 2006.  Maybe that
will clear up the problem. 

Thanks and regards,

I don't know that I have anything useful to add to this discussion, but I
have been using this code for a long time without problems.

There was an update a couple of years ago with new .dll files -- 2009.


I call this code in several places using 

    blRet = ConvertReportToPDF(strReportName, vbNullString, myPath &
"Results.pdf", False, False)


blRet is a boolean declared in each sub where I call ConvertReportToPDF.  I
don't do anything with it, but this is how the version I got was done.


I did have an issue with using in Access2010 because the snapshot format is
no longer available.  I now have code to check the Access version and if
it's 2010, I create the pdf using the built-in PDF converter.  Otherwise,
the database uses the code above.
