SYMPTOMS

When you use the PrtMip property example in Help, you may receive the following error message:
Compile Error:
Method or data member not found

CAUSE

The Help example contains errors in the name of the elements used in the subroutines for these procedures.

RESOLUTION

Use the following procedures in your module instead of the ones provided in the Help example:
Sub PrtMipCols(strName As String)
    Dim PrtMipString As str_PRTMIP
    Dim PM As type_PRTMIP
    Dim rpt As Report
    Const PM_HORIZONTALCOLS = 1953
    Const PM_VERTICALCOLS = 1954
    DoCmd.OpenReport strName, acDesign
    Set rpt = Reports(strName)
    PrtMipString.strRGB = rpt.PrtMip
    LSet PM = PrtMipString
    ' Create two columns.
    PM.cxColumns = 2
    ' Set 0.25 inch between rows.
    PM.xRowSpacing = 0.25 * 1440
    ' Set 0.5 inch between columns.
    PM.yColumnSpacing = 0.5 * 1440
    PM.rItemLayout = PM_HORIZONTALCOLS
    
    LSet PrtMipString = PM            ' Update property.
    rpt.PrtMip = PrtMipString.strRGB
End Sub
				
Sub SetMarginsToDefault(strName As String)
    Dim PrtMipString As str_PRTMIP
    Dim PM As type_PRTMIP
    Dim rpt As Report
    DoCmd.OpenReport strName, acDesign
    Set rpt = Reports(strName)
    PrtMipString.strRGB = rpt.PrtMip
    LSet PM = PrtMipString
    PM.xLeftMargin = 1 * 1440    ' Set margins.
    PM.yTopMargin = 1 * 1440
    PM.xRightMargin = 1 * 1440
    PM.yBotMargin = 1 * 1440
    LSet PrtMipString = PM            ' Update property.
    rpt.PrtMip = PrtMipString.strRGB
End Sub
