    Question

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to print a file without open it.
    For example I have 10 files of pcl format. Once I press a button all the files go to the printer(without opening them).Any hint will be helpful. Thank you.

    without opening them?

    You mean with the
    Open FileName For Output As #FreeFile

    or opening (shelling) the files?

    Alcohol doesn't solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk.

    Printing Files

    What I mean is to be able to print them whitout opening the program that read them. For example to print a *.doc I have to open Word and then print the file.
    My program is receiving info from measurement equipment.I save this in 16 files. Then I have to create a command button that once press will print all this 16 files to the printer.
    In DOS the command will be:
    copy C:\Mike.pcl prn
    copy C:\Mike1.pcl prn
    Copy C:\Mike2.pcl prn etc

    Is a way that I can do this in Visual Basic.(maybe API)

    Thank You
    M.G.
