[RESOLVED] Run-time error '2147467259(80004005)'

[sgrya1]

I've just gotten a problem when printing.

I get an error:

Run-time error '2147467259(80004005)'
Automation error
Unspecified error

on the line:

If Not printDlg.ShowPrinter(Me.hWnd) Then

I think it's because I added some code to make the MDI allow only OneInstance of the program.

I don't know what Me.hwnd means so I really don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help me?

What is printDlg? Is it a common dialog control? If so, your command is incorrect and mabye should be like the following. The .ShowPrinter method does not have parameters.

....
printDlg.CancelError = True  ' if user cancels, then a trappable error occurs
On Error Resume Next
printDlg.ShowPrinter
If Err Then 
    ' user hit cancel or something else happened
    ... do what you want, if anything
    Err.Clear
Else
    On Error GoTo 0  ' stop ResumeNext error trapping
     ... succcess, do what is needed here
End If

Lavolpe,

I can't remember why I needed to use it but the print dialog is not the default one.
I tried your code but it seems the this dialog does require a parameter on .showPrinter.

I've just cut and pasted the code from their site and it now seems to get past the line I had the problem with. I don't know what the problem was at the moment but thanks for pushing me in the right direction to solve it.

You're welcome. What you are using is not the common dialog, rather it is some other DLL. That explains why the parameter is required; the DLL's class function/method requires the parameter.
