Ghostscript Error 1007 Merge operation from MS Access 2003
Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2008 5:06 pm
I'm testing the Merge process by trying to send multiple Access reports. I've modified the sample code for PrintReportAsPDF to allow me to pass variables about the report to create, whether to open it once completed, and whether to merge. The first report is created just fine, I get the bubble message saying it's done, and if I'm only sending one (no merge) it opens and looks fine. But when the later ones are sent, I get the 1007 error. The icon in the tray indicates there's a merge in process, but the error window comes up and it fails. When I open the PDF file, it only holds the first report. I downloaded 5.0.609 this morning, but I get the same results. I sure appreciate any help or feedback!
Here's the code that calls bullzip:
Case "PDF"
'Make sure any previous instances of BullZip are finished
Do While Dir(Environ("APPDATA") & "\Bullzip\PDF Printer\runonce@Bullzip PDF Printer.ini") <> ""
' c = c + 1
' Sleep 200
Loop
Select Case intRptCounter
Case 1 'First one, make it
If gintRptCount = 1 Then 'If it is the only one then make it, no append, display it
Call PrintReportAsPDF(gstrNewReport, "Yes", "No")
Else 'make it, but don't display it, no merge 'cause it's the first
Call PrintReportAsPDF(gstrNewReport, "No", "No")
End If
Case gintRptCount 'last rpt, merge/append it, then display it
Call PrintReportAsPDF(gstrNewReport, "Yes", "Yes")
Case Else 'Second or later - merge/append it, don't open it
Call PrintReportAsPDF(gstrNewReport, "No", "Yes")
End Select
