VB6: How to set margins when exporting to Excel or Word?
Since I can't manage to print in VB6 with high quality (with every code I try, the printing looks pixelated and grey)... I resolved to export:
* via RichTextBox, to Microsoft Word
(.SaveFile FileName, and then opening it in Word via Shell)
* via SpreadSheet, to Microsoft Excel
(.Export FileName, and then opening it in Excel via Shell)
...the thing is I don't know:
a) how to set the margins
b) how to tell Word and Excel to print automatically, without the user having to click "print"
Does anyone knows how?
Thanks.

Re: VB6: How to set margins when exporting to Excel or Word?
a, you would need to automate either excel or word, though you may be able to set the margins in the rtbox
b, if you are automating either you can just use the appropriate printout method
or you can use shellexecute for the filename, with the print verb, which will print the file with the default application
i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next
dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part
come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
