Steve,

I've got this in a VFP print button:

this.parent.moWorkOrder.PrintOut( .f. ) && make Word modal so it won't quit till printed

moWorkOrder is a Word.Document object the oWord object created. It prints just fine without ever moving focus from the VFP app.

>I have a form which I fill in and then print. The problem I am having is that it seems to hang when it goes to print but if I click on Word then it starts printing. Any suggestions?
>Yes it is SR1 and I have a loop that gets the backgroundprintingstatus so that it doesn't exit before printing is done.
