Naming Document In Printer Spool

[Leviathan07]

Hello, I am using the Printer object in visual basic 6 and am currently trying to get the document to appear with a name rather than always showing up as Visual Basic Document in the window print spool. Is there any way to set that name in VB???

use the microsoft word object model and that will show up with the document name in the printer spool then.

here is a sample of code i think might work for you:

dim objectprint as object
Set objprint = objprintect <filename as string>,&quot;Word.application&quot
objprint.Activate
objprint.PrintOut Background:= False
objectprint.Close
Set objprint = Nothing

opps coorect this line:
Set objprint = objprintect <filename as string>,&quot;Word.application&quot

to:

Set objprint = getobject(<filename as string>,&quot;Word.application&quot

Thanks for the attempt, however, I cannot use the Word version because that is dependant on WORD actually being installed and the system that my application will be running on will not have Word installed. Do you know of any other way in which I can name the Doc Name in the printer spool. Thanks
