This secion of code has been working great under VFP6 after adding the BackgroundPrintingStatus line. I converted it to VFP7 last week and now the printer window say "Spooling" for minutes. I have another section that just prints a standard document which also stalls. I am using Word 2000 with both VFP6 & 7.

lcFileName is defined as company name & incrementing number: "OAIC-0012.doc"

oleApp.Documents.Open ("c:\foxprint\GAMMemo.doc")
oleApp.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Execute
oleApp.ActiveDocument.PrintOut
oleApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(lcFileName)
oleApp.ActiveDocument.Close
oleApp.ActiveDocument.Saved = .t.
oleApp.ActiveDocument.Close
do while oleApp.BackgroundPrintingStatus > 0
doevents()
enddo

I sure could use some help.

Thanks.
