Amazing how helpful 2 days NOT staring at the monitor can be. That, and a lucky hit on Google (http://www.faqsen.de/delphi/faq.jsp?ID=495148544850485649525250) .
The PrintOut method can take parameters, one of which is "Background". Clearly I want to print in the background, so I had tried setting Background to True. But that hadn't solved the problem, hence my assumption that Windows wasn't handling it. But apparently, to print in the background, I must set "Background" to .... False. Problem solved. < Sigh > Thank you Steffer at www.faqsen.de and apologies to anyone who may have spent time thinking of solutions for me. However, if anyone knows of a web-site that would help me understand the logic of this, I'd like to know of it. Thanks. Regards to all Rob -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
