>>In Word automation, I do a bunch of changes and save the document. Everthing is ok. The VFP starts Word, opens a document, applies changes to it, saves the document and closes Word. However, if I add a PrintOut(0) just before closing Word, this will force a save and a prompt will appear to ask me if I want to save my changes or not. How can I avoid that?

Passing 0 or .F. is the same thing. However, I used your approach to pass a logical.

Here is my code:

loWord=CREATE('Word.Application')
loWord.Documents.Open('d:\myfile.doc')
loWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut(.F.)
loWord.Quit

That prints the document. I see the printer status in VFP. After, I have the message from Word if I want to save my document. If I don't print, I don't have this message.

Might there be a setting in Word which forces the document to be saved if I print it?
