Ted and Frank: Thanks for the tips. Shellexecute still flashes Word and then the document on the screen. The effect is even worse than in automation. When I used nShowWin = 2 it appears in a smaller state but still flashes. Jack

I just wasn't sure of the command - the ShellExecute - to do the alternate printing technique. So - yeah - Ted & Frank - thank you both for your follow-ups. I hope that it will help Jack get it done right! -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ted Roche Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2013 11:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Print A Word Document From VFP On Tue, May 7, 2013 at 7:28 PM, Jack Skelley <[email protected]>wrote: > Good Evening All: > I am creating a Word 2010 automation form to open a document and print it. > jack: If all you are doing is printing documents, without altering them, using Automation is probably overkill. I suspect you can just call ShellExecute with the "print" verb. See the examples built into the Solution Explorer.
