Printing text files in VB

[Guest_imported]

Is it possible to print an ascii textfile from VB without opening it first? So, I want to send a file as input to a printer..

My second question: how can I send/put a pagebreak in an ascii file?

Thanks so much,

Eddy

I've got to ask, why don't you want to open the file?

Second question, it used to be a case of embedding ^L (chr$(12)) in a file would cause a page break - not sure if it still works - give it a try

chr$(12) will work, although it is clearer to use the built-in constant: vbFormFeed
