Article ID: Q119477
Creation Date: 17-AUG-1994
Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Page 492 of the Microsoft Access "Language Reference," version 2.0, manual states, in part, that:

   The PrtMip property setting is a 24-byte structure that maps to
   settings for the Margins options and the Data Only option for a table
   or query in Datasheet view, form, report, or module in the Print Setup
   dialog box.

This is true for Microsoft Access version 1.x, but not for Microsoft Access version 2.0.

RESOLUTION

In Microsoft Access version 2.0, the PrtMip property setting is a 26-byte structure, not a 24-byte structure.

MORE INFORMATION

The additional 2 bytes in Microsoft Access 2.0 are used to incorporate the FastLaserPrinting property of reports. You can set the FastLaserPrinting property in a report's Design view, but you cannot set it at run time using the PrtMip property in Access Basic.

To obtain the size of the PrtMip property, type the following line in the Immediate window and then press ENTER:

   ?len(reports("<reportname>").prtmip)
