Print a file using its path name, from access?

[neemi]

I have various file names stored in an access table which the user can view from a form as an image. What I wat to be able to do is send these files to a printer when the user clicks on a specified button! So for example the file being viewed is "C:\Exmaple\Example.tiff", On clicking the button this document would go straight to the printer.

I could probably put these images in a report and then print the report but wanted to send the documents straight to the printer without having to do this, if poss? Which I suppose is just a matter of knowing how to?

Does anyone know how this is possible or if they have any sample code that does a similar job?

Help and advice appreciated.

Cheers,
Neemi

Is it something like this thread705-941954 you're after?

Thanks,

That is exaxtly wat I needed.

I actually use that same code to open an external file, but was unsure how to manipulate it to print the file.

Thanks again.
