In Word, if you go to Tools=Options, Print tab, you can check or uncheck
background printing. You would want it unchecked (don't allow background
printing). This is obviously a property that you can set with code.

Good Morning

i am building a small code block to open word, populate with data, print and
then close.

its working fine but since the task is slow ( printing ) the word.quit
command triggers the word is currently printing .. will cancel print jobs.

i remember, or dreamt of, that this is a valida method

do
loop until not(appliactionobject.busy), but i cant find the busy property.
any workarounds ?? thank you for your help

Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Dim i As Integer
Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrdApp.Visible = True
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add


Dim rng As Word.Range

With wrdDoc
wrdDoc.PageSetup.Orientation = 1
Set rng = wrdDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range
rng.Font.Size = 10
rng.Font.Name = "Courier"

.Content.InsertParagraph

.Content.InsertAfter ConstruirReport
'.PrintOut
'.Content.InsertAfter "Here is a sample test line #" & i
'.Content.InsertParagraphAfter

'.Close ' close the document *//* that's the bugger
End With



wrdApp.Quit ' close the Word application
Set wrdDoc = Nothing
Set wrdApp = Nothing
