I've compared the code structure in your project to mine and I can't see why
mine would behave any differently. Here is my function - I use a property
Let to set the m_strFilename variable.




Public Function ExportToByteArray(ByVal objReport As IReport, _
ByVal intExportFormat As ExportFormats) As
Variant

On Error GoTo Error_Handler

Dim objPDF As ActiveReportsPDFExport.ARExportPDF
Dim objExcel As ActiveReportsExcelExport.ARExportExcel
Dim objRTF As ActiveReportsRTFExport.ARExportRTF
Dim varByteArray As Variant


objReport.Export
With objReport.Report
.Printer.DeviceName = ""
'cancel the display of any message boxes with error messages if an
error would occur
.ShowMessages = False
.Run False

If .Pages.Count > 0 Then
Select Case intExportFormat
Case ExportPDF
Set objPDF = New ActiveReportsPDFExport.ARExportPDF
objPDF.FileName = m_strFilename
objPDF.ExportStream .Pages, varByteArray
Case ExportRTF
Set objRTF = New ActiveReportsRTFExport.ARExportRTF
objRTF.ExportStream .Pages, varByteArray
Case ExportExcel
Set objExcel = New
ActiveReportsExcelExport.ARExportExcel
objExcel.ExportStream .Pages, varByteArray
End Select
End If
End With
ExportToByteArray = varByteArray
Exit Function

Error_Handler:
Err.Raise Err.Number, App.Title & "." & m_strClassName &
".ExportToByteArray", Err.Source & ": " & Err.Description
End Function
