Runtime Error 509

[Trevor]

I have a protected document created from a template, our programmers are
trying to use a shellexecute print command to print the document, however the
TmpDDE command that is created errors with Runtime error 509 because it is
trying to do a "WordBasic.SetDocumentDirty t"

The same thing happens if you right click and do print from the Windows XP
explorer.

This only seems to be a problem in Office 2003.

Does anyone know if there is a way supress the dirty flag or this error?

Thanks
