Frank:
I never thought of shellexecute! I will try it.
Here is the code:
oWord = createobject("Word.Application") &&in error trap there a return if Word
is not on the box
if type("oWord") <> "O" then
wait window "Word Not Found On This Computer..." timeout 2
wait window "Returning..." timeout 2
thisform.cmdPrint.enabled = .f.
return
endif
oWord.Visible = .f. &&hide the word app...
for i = 1 to alen(laQueue,1)
thisform.lstAttachments.listindex = laQueue(i,2)
wait window "Queuing " + laQueue(i,1) + "..." nowait
thisform.txtDocument.value = laQueue(i,1)
thisform.txtDocument.refresh()
oWord.Visible = .f. &&hide the word app...
oWord.Documents.Open(laQueue(i,1))
oWord.Application.PrintOut()
wait window "" timeout 5 &&long enough? How can I be sure it was sent to the
printer???
oWord.Documents.Close()
gaWord_docs(laQueue(i,2),1) = "PRT~~~" + justfname(laQueue(i,1))
thisform.lstAttachments.refresh()
lnPrinted = lnPrinted + 1
thisform.txtDocs_printed.value = lnPrinted
thisform.txtDocs_printed.refresh()
endfor
Thanks for taking a look.
Jack
