TMGR: Using Print Method Causes Run-Time Error

SYMPTOMS

When accessing Microsoft Team Manager using OLE Automation, when you use the Print method, you may receive the following message: 

   Run-time error '438:' Object does not support this property or method.

CAUSE

The Print method is a built-in method of the Microsoft Visual Basic Object Library and cannot be used on Microsoft Team Manager objects.

Microsoft Team Manager does not expose a Print method itself, but does offer a PrintOut method, which acts upon the CurrentView object. You should use the PrintOut method instead of the Print method. The following code illustrates this:
