[Mark Pierson]

The latest version of KM (v8.25) is available.

Changes include:

• Fixed p-code display error with P8/740 upgrade length error message.
• Fixed 'Dish Network' $0002 Fixed Data bug on newer S3C8 remotes.

I'm having a problem with previewing/printing the "Key Map" page. I get the following error in Excel 2000 (9.0.6926 SP-3).

Run-time error '50290':

Method 'Saved' of object '_Workbook' failed

The dialog has buttons for Continure (greyed out), End, Debug and Help.

If I hit End the print preview seems to work as does printing.

I'm not sure when this broke as I last printed a file in v8.12

[Mark Pierson]

I just tried KM on XL2K (9.0.2720) and could not replicate the error. Of course, it also works on my main XP system.

If this happens consistently everytime you use KM, then you might want to try selecting the Debug button and letting me know the name of the routine that the error occurs in as well as the actual line of code (it should be highlighted in the VBA editor window).

[StuartMW]

If this happens consistently everytime you use KM...

Yes, its consistent--that is every time. BTW I'm on Win2K SP4.

Here's the Debug screen.

Did you upgrade Excel to SP-3 since you last printed in KM 8.12? I think the error you're getting is a result of something in SP-3, which means that there's little I can do to fix it.

Someone else (ElizabethD?) reported some strange things after an XL SP upgrade as well.

[Mark Pierson]

Do you get the same error if you select File, Print instead of using the preview?

[StuartMW]

Did you upgrade Excel to SP-3 since you last printed in KM 8.12?

I don't remember when I applied SP-3. The last time I used KM 8.12 was on or around 2/19/2004 and I think SP-3 preceded that.

Update: I just checked my saved patches and the timestamp on my Office 2000 SP-3.exe file is 11/19/2002 which is probably when I applied it.

BTW I just tried this on a different box running Win98SE (same version of Excel) and got exactly the same error.

Do you get the same error if you select File, Print instead of using the preview?

File, Print Preview has the problem but File, Print just brings up the print dialog.

[Mark Pierson]

File, Print Preview has the problem but File, Print just brings up the print dialog.

And if you choose OK to print, what happens?

Do you still have an older version of KM that you can try this on?

[StuartMW]

And if you choose OK to print, what happens?

As I said before both preview and print work despite the error.

Do you still have an older version of KM that you can try this on?

No, do you have a copy?

[Mark Pierson]

I'm emailing you a test version to try. Please let me know (either here or via return email) whether it eliminates the error.

[StuartMW]

I'm emailing you a test version to try.

Mark, I got both copies--thanks. That version does not have a problem so you fixed it

Thanks!

[Mark Pierson]

I got both copies

I guess my outgoing mail is acting up again! You'll probably end up wih a few more copies before it's done!

That version does not have a problem so you fixed it

Whew... another one of those infamous Excel quirks beaten back for at least another day!

Gotta love Microsoft (well maybe not but ...)

PS: Yep got another email but this one was from a different address.

So is this problem solved or not? I can dig out my info for KM in SP4 as well as some simple solution, if still needed.

I'm having a bit of trouble reading this thread. The screen shot makes the space too wide and requires scrolling sideways for every sentence. At least I guess it's the screen shot.

I haven't yet grabbed KM825, will do so soon.

[Mark Pierson]

So is this problem solved or not?

Yes it is, but I haven't uploaded a fixed version yet.
