Am using Dave Croziers code snippet for printing PDF's (Thank You!).
I cut and pasted the code and did a quick test...
In the ShellExec statement there are three parameters:
"test.pdf" - Name of PDF to print?
""
"C:\temp\" - Location of file
I substituted for my environment and I get an nstat = 2???
TIA,
Desmond
