Description

ArcMap will crash when using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code to specify a driver on the IArcPressPrinter interface.

Cause

The IPrinter::Paper object was not set up correctly.

Solution or Workaround

This problem is addressed in ArcGIS 8.1.2.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to set up the IPrinter::Paper object before specifying a driver.

Dim pApp as IApplication

Set pApp = Application



Dim pMxApp as IMxApplication

Set pMxApp = pApp



Dim pPrinter as IPrinter

Set pPrinter = New ArcPressPrinter



Dim pArcPressPrinter as IArcPressPrinter

Set pArcPressPrinter = pPrinter



Set pPrinter.Paper = pMxApp.Paper



pArcPressPrinter.Driver = <member of esriArcPressDriverPrinters>
