This article was previously published under Q142247

SYMPTOMS

Printing a large 32-bit Visual Basic project under the Windows NT 3.51 operating system generates an application error that closes Visual Basic. This behavior occurs if the Visual Basic program is running under the Windows NT 3.51 operating system whether you print the project to a printer or a file.

RESOLUTION

To print a large Visual Basic project from Windows NT 3.51, print the sections individually rather than as one large piece.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a issue in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual Basic version 5.0 for Windows.
