>SET PRINTER TO NAME won't work (I don't think) because it doesn't change the default printer. You could use the WSH to change the default, or the printer utility (FoxPrinter?) that Robert Abram has available. You could also use the API to either re-write the WIN.INI file or change the registry setting. I'd investigate the first two options. They'll give you a small code base to maintain.


I don't mind changing the default printer before I run the task, I'll be doing it myself, but I still have the problem that each document will be printed as a seperate task, which means that win fax will send them all as seperate faxes, which requires me to enter the fax number each time.

Is there a way (even if its manual) to group the print jobs? Something like a command that says, keep adding to the current job until I say otherwise?

I'm running under NT service pack 5 and I'll take any solution.

Thanks man! I know that I am pressing the bounds of what you have done before, but I appreciate any advice. :-)
