PrintToFile param - what's the file format?
I tried using the PrintToFile parameter in the Worksheet.PrintOut method and I get files, but I can't seem to open them. Is this a weird printer format, or should I be seeing a workbook file here
Thanks James |

Is this a weird printer format, or should I be seeing a workbook file here? Hi James, When you print to file you get a file that is formatted in whatever codes your printer understands. It's not meant to be human-readable. It's generally used when you don't have a direct connection to a specific printer. You can load the printer driver for that printer, print to file, then stick the file on a floppy disk, take it to a machine that's connected to that printer and send the file to the printer from the command line. -- Rob Bovey, MCSE, MCSD, Excel MVP Application Professionals http://www.appspro.com/ * Please post all replies to this newsgroup * * I delete all unsolicited e-mail responses * |

That's kind of what I figured, though I was hoping it would be something human viewable, for debugging purposes. Thanks for the info

If you install the Generic Text printer and print to that, then you'll be able
to see the results in your favorite text editor. jstrater wrote: That's kind of what I figured, though I was hoping it would be something human viewable, for debugging purposes. Thanks for the info. --- James -- Dave Peterson |
