TY

When I see it, though, what will I learn?  Something that might help me work
around the problem?

 Access (or Office).

 On the machine where it's happening, Control Panel, Admin Tools, event log.

 Windows should be recording the fault each time it happens.  It will have a
module name and an address, and the type of fault that occurred.

 Would be good to get the fault from the event log and then see if it is the
same in each case.

  If it is, then your probably tripping over a bug.

I'll try that tomorrow. Un-commenting the last two parameters of the
OutputTo didn't change the result.  Still barfed.  

I assume then after the output to you close the hidden report?

Thx

Hi Rocky,

I had a similar situation.  I read somewhere that opening the report hidden
first solves the problem

DoCmd.OpenReport " rptRentalAgreement ", acPreview, , , acHidden
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptRentalAgreement", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)",
strRAPDFName, False ', "", acExportQualityPrint

I also noticed in the second line above (copied from your code) you have a '
after False - this may cause a problem as well.

Dear List(s):

I am running an accdb in A2010.  I want to convert a report to a pdf and
attach it to an email.  This works perfectly on my machine.  

At the client site it does not. I spent two hours there today trying
everything I could think of -  checking Microsoft update for patches fixes,
updates, etc., decompiling, compact and repair, lacing the code with
DoEvents, running as administrator - nothing worked.  I did track the
problematic line of code.  It is the line with 

DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport

And Access Stopped Working on this line of code almost every time.  I say
almost because a couple of times it ran - generated both pdfs and popped up
the email with the two report pdfs attached!  Which is why I tried the
DoEvents.  But it barfed pretty consistently on that first DoCmd.OutputTo
acOutputReport,

Here's the code:

strFrontEndPath = db.Name

Do While Right(strFrontEndPath, 1) <> "\"

    strFrontEndPath = Left(strFrontEndPath, Len(strFrontEndPath) - 1)

Loop

strRAPDFName = strFrontEndPath & "RentalAgreement-" _

    & Me.cboNameAndAddress.Column(1) & "-" _

    & Me.fldRAHOrderNumber & ".pdf"

strRAPDFName = Replace(strRAPDFName, "*", "")

DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptRentalAgreement", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)",
strRAPDFName, False ', "", acExportQualityPrint

'Call ConvertReportToPDF("rptRentalAgreement", , strRAPDFName, , False)

strCCPPDFName = strFrontEndPath & "CreditCardPermission-" _

    & Me.cboNameAndAddress.Column(1) & "-" _

    & Me.fldRAHOrderNumber & ".pdf"

strCCPPDFName = Replace(strCCPPDFName, "*", "")

DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptCreditCardPermissionForEmail",
"PDFFormat(*.pdf)", strCCPPDFName, False ', "", acExportQualityPrint

'Call ConvertReportToPDF("rptCreditCardPermissionForEmail", , strCCPPDFName,
, False)

You can see the previous legacy code which worked for a long time in A2003 -
the calls to ConvertToPDF - which I have commented out.  That doesn't work
anymore.  

So I'm really stumped.  Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?
Two martinis to the genius who can post an effective fix.
