Good Morning Mike: I done this where I didn't want to see something and moved the window position to be on the bottom. I have a main screen where the showwindow in the top level form. Then I move the "good" window to the top with a user32 command called setforegroundwindow. So I tried that but Word still flashes on the subsequent docs to be printed before I can set the window. The wordobject.visible = .f. works for the first doc opened to be printed but fails on the rest. Thanks for jogging my memory on this. There is also a movewindow and setwindowpos function in the user32.dll as well. Jack

I have no idea how that would be done, if it can be, but I've asked my brain a few times and I keep getting this same memory.
