Printing a document

Can anyone tell me how to sequentially send text to a file and then print it out? Thanks in advance.

In case I really wasn't clear, I just need to know how to print a document, I'm sure I could figure out how to send the text, I just need to find out how to print it.

You can use the Printer object directly, doing something like this:

dim sMyString as string

sMyString = "Hello World!"

Printer.Print sMyString


This will send the sMyString variable directly to the printer. Just use Printer.EndDoc to stop the buffer, and start the printing.

What about a file? I am wanting to send a series a strings to a file, save that file, then print it using VB.

You can load the text into a string and then send it to the printer via the printer object

Printer.print mystring
Printer.enddoc

or load the file into a RichTextBox and use
RTB1.selPrint(Printer.hDC)

With the RTB you could add color or formatting or whatever

To open the file into a string look up the FileSystemObject and OpenAsTextStream

Thanks, that one's been bugging me a while.
