ACC2: GP Fault Using Print Definition from Query Builder

 Last reviewed: May 14, 1997
Article ID: Q135489
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

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

If you select Print Definition from the File menu while you are in the Query Builder of either a report or form in Design view, a general protection fault occurs. The general protection fault does not occur if you select Print Definition while you are in the Query Builder of a query in Design view.

RESOLUTION

Select Print Definition while you are in Design view of an existing query and not from the RecordSource property's Query builder in a form or report. If the RecordSource property for the form or report is an SQL statement, invoke the Query Builder, and then select Save As from the File menu to save the SQL statement as a query.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version 2.0. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0.
