PRB: "Setting" of "Height, Width Property" in Help Misleading

Article ID: Q132002
Creation Date: 26-JUN-1995
Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

A sentence of the "Setting" section of the "Height, Width Properties" topic in the Microsoft Access Help system reads as follows.

      You can set these properties using the property sheet, a macro, or
      Access Basic.

This information is misleading because it does not mention that you cannot set these properties for report sections when you print or preview a report.

RESOLUTION

Following the above sentence in the "Setting" section of the "Height, Width Properties" topic in the Microsoft Access Help system add the following two paragraphs.

   For reports, you cannot use a macro or Access Basic to set the Height
   and Width properties when you print or preview a report.

   For report controls, you can set the Height and Width properties only
   by using a macro or an event procedure specified in a section's OnFormat
   property setting when you print or preview a report.
