Hi Tim,

Look at the Common Dialog ActiveX control. You can use the .Flags property to set the state of the Collate check box. I haven't dealt with a printer that collates, so I don't know for certain if presenting this dialog right before printing (and having the user select OK) will work, but I think it's worth a try.

hth,
