How to fix "ByRef argument type mismatch" error when saving as pdf?

[Shelley Burke]

Many thanks for the coding provided in an earlier thread to be able to snapshot document, save as pdf and email it.

Unfort I have done everything as instructed and am still having problems.

*******************

Private Sub View_Report_Click()

Dim blRet As Boolean
Dim fileName, Report, msg1 As String
Report = "rptInvoice"
fileName = "C:\Invoices\PDF Files" & Replace(Date, "/", "") & ".pdf"
    DoCmd.OpenReport Report, acViewPreview
    blRet = ConvertReportToPDF(Report, vbNullString, fileName, False, True, 1, "", "", 0, 0)
    DoCmd.Close acReport, Report
    sbSendreturnform fileName

End Sub

*********************

Getting a "ByRef argument type mismatch" error on this line (highlighting Report):
blRet = ConvertReportTo PDF(Report, vbNullString, fileName, False, True, 1, "", "", 0, 0)

The name of my report is rptInvoice and I created the folders to put the PDF into.

I changed the Report to View Report got a syntax error. Changed the report name to ReturnsForm as you had it, get byRef error again :(

Where am I going wrong?

As a first step please replace your second Dim statement with

Dim fileName as String, Report as String, msg1 As String

In VBA each variable declaration is separate, even if they are on the same line; Using var1, var2, var3 = sometype does NOT define var1 and var2 to be the same as var3; when no type is specified Variant is the default, which is likely to have caused the error in the call that you highlighted.
