>>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 really don't know, Todd. I assume we're speaking about something like a Word document as opposed to an image that has been scaned into the machine. I assume, in Word, you could combine the documents via OLE Automation. As far as a scanned image, I know my scanner software allows me to do this. Now if it were an automation server, then there's a pretty good liklihood that it would expose methods to do it too.

This probably doesn't help much, but it's all I've got. Maybe someone else has a better answer.
