Print Word document from VB6 problem

[LPent]

Hi,

I'm trying to print a Word document from VB6. The problem is, when I close Word directly after issuing a print command, the printjob is "lost" (Nothing is printed). When I don't close word, the document is printed as intended.

I have:

appWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=True, Copies:=2
appWord.Quit wdDoNotSaveChanges

it take little time to spool.maybe a PAUSE between commands.

Replace this:
appWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=True, Copies:=2
By this:
appWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False, Copies:=2

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks, It didn't work either, but I got it to work this way:

appWord.ActiveDocument.Printout Background:=False, Copies:=2
DoEvents
appWord.ActiveDocument.Close saveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
appWord.Quit wdDoNotSaveChanges
