Problems with simultaneous printing of PDF files using registry VB code

S

Sienayr

Greetings,

I use the commonly known code that writes a file path to the
PDFFileName registry key in order to automate the output of Access
reports to PDF files using the Adobe Acrobat writer. I use Acrobat
Version 5.0. The problem I have is that the jobs are scheduled, and if
one job runs long and the next job starts, then one of the jobs will
stop and prompt for a location to save the file, I am assuming because
the other job wrote over or cleared the path in the registry key where
the 1st job was supposed to output to. Or, sometimes the wrong report
will be output to the wrong file name (which is very baffling to the
people that use the reports :) Has anyone had this problem and found
a solution? Is it possible to output reports simultaneously using this
VB code? I would love to not have to worry about spacing my jobs when
I schedule them.

I was unable to get the MVPS code to work on my machine, but does
anyone know if that handles simultaneous output any better?

regards,
rn
