printing document from Word application

[Ram Baruch]

Hi,
I'm trying to open WINWORD, then open a documet in it, print the document
and then- close WINWORD.
This is a sample of what I wrote:

Dim PrintApp As Word.Application
Set PrintApp = New Word.Application
PrintApp.Visible = True

PrintApp.Documents.Open FileName:="E:\Sample.doc", ReadOnly:=True
PrintApp.ActiveDocument.PrintOut

PrintApp.Quit
Set PrintApp = Nothing



The problem is that when it tries to close the application, it still prints
the document, and then it displays a message that if Word will be closed,
all printing will be stopped.
Of course what I want is to close WORD after the printing is done and not
WHILE printing. Is there anyway to do it?
Regards,
Ram.

Hi Ram,

You need to set Background printing to False:

With PrintApp
.Visible = True
.Documents.Open FileName:="E:\Sample.doc", ReadOnly:=True
.ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False
.Quit
End With
