Automatic printing in background using different printers

P

pleh

Hello,

i got a serious problem using automatic printing...

with several scheduled vbs tasks i start different word - documents,
containing vba. Each document prints out on a different printer.

Sometimes those documents are started at the same time which results in
printer confusion.

first document chooses "ActivePrinter= xyz" while the other document
chooses an other one. Now the first doc is printed on wrong location or
a dialogue states me to put in save as prn file...

Is there any way to tell word not to change the printer for the whole
windows environment but only for the started application?

I tried out a lot, but Application.ActivePrinter= "someprinter" results
in changing the standard printer of windows.

I do appreciate a lot your help, thanks!

Daniel
