>I generate bills in Word97 from VFP. However, when I try to perform a oWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut followed by Word.ActiveDocument.Close and oWord.Quit. It appears that the print request has not had time to queue properly. I know that I can always place my program in a wait state and then attempt to close my document and Word, but that is bound to fail since my generated documents can vary in size. Is there any way through OLE automation that I can wait for the print job to queue prior to close/quitting commands to execute in Word?

Juan,
Probably because you have backgroung printing activated. I read a Qxxxxxx about it in the Microsoft knowledge base yesterday. If you have problem locating it, I'll make the search for you.
