This did it but its real odd. Now before this I just switched it by saving it and then reopening by creating an object using word.basic. This allowed me to open it with all toolbars showing. The only problem it was slower because I needed to drop my connection and recreate it. After that I also gave the user an option to print it and then quit word without them viewing it on the screen. If they choose to view it on the screen I used app.show with word.basic istead of visible. How I can I my document print and quit using word.application? Using word.basic I could do word.FilePrint and word.FileQuit?

Thanks again for you help
