Hello everyone,
i have a question about automating a certain task in vb. im sure there must be a way to do this but just never really had to do it. ok this is the scenerio....there is a database which has lots of people on it. some of these people will have scanned .tiff format resumes inside with there files, and some people will not. when a user does a query they will get a list of people that match there query. some of these on there list will have resumes (.tiff)and some wont....i want to be able to call out a shell command which calls another program (Paint Shop Pro) which then prints this picture of there resume...this is posible manually but is it possible to automate???---so that the people that contain .tiff resumes will automaticlly be printed rather than having to do go thru and do each individually??--please help.----- thank you in advance Heidi

Hey Heidi
There are several ways you can go about this. In your case, you say you want Paint Shop Pro to do the printing. But when you say "print"; do you mean to the printer? If so, use the ShellExecute Windows API command to send the resume (.TIF file) to the printer.
If you need help on the ShellExecute command, let me know here. I will be glad to help you.
