Hi
When running the built in Print or Print Preview menu commands on a form
with an embedded tab control that has many fields on several tab pages, Print
or Print Preview will appear to hang the machine and while running consumes
vast amounts of memory. I can reproduce this with a simple mdb that only has
an unbound form. The memory allocated to MSAccess would normally be around
15-20Mb, however during print preview on this Tab embedded form the memory
allocated rises upto 256+MB.
I have had to work around this withTab control "Display when" property set
to "Screen only" and using copies of the tab control's fields on the main
form with "Display when" property set to "Print only" and copying the fields'
data on the form_current and tabcontrol_change events.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks
Madhouse.
