Word and Printing

[Fursten]

Hi,

In my VB application I´m priting a document (report) to a default printer that I specify in the application (so, the default printer defined in control panel is not important).

However, if I try to print a Word Documend (created dinamically in vb) to a default printer defined im my vb application the word will ignore it, and use the default printer defined in control panel This is logic, because Word uses the default printer of the control panel and not that defined inside VB.

The question is: How can I say to Word to use a specific printer? Is there any property or method inside Word Object Model?

Thank you

Application.ActivePrinter = "\\QTHVRNT5\3-01 on NE02:"
ActiveDocument.PrintOut

I have just tested the above code when "\\QTHVRNT5\3-01 on NE02:" was not the default or active printer and it worked fine?

I'm trying to do the same but in Excel, and it doesn't recognize the Application object. Any idea what I'm not initializing?
