ActivePrinter

[Simon Hayden]

Does anyone else have trouble with a time delay to process a line of code
that sets the ActivePrinter property?

eg. ActivePrinter = "Brother Series 1240"

If so is there a work around?

Hi Simon,

You say there is a problem, but you're not terribly specific about what the
problem is, save that there is a delay of some sort. A few more details
would make it a whole lot easier to try and diagnose & solve the problem.

In the meantime, this article might help - it allows you to change the
printer Word is using without changing the ActivePrinter
