    ActiveX & Word Problem

    Hi,

    i'm having a problem with using word from an ActiveX dll the problem is this

    Code:
    Dim appWord as New Word.Application

' Following line causes word to lock up, must be Ctrl + Alt + Del killed
appWord.ActivePrinter = "PRINTER NAME"

appWord.quit

Set appWord = Nothing
    however the following code fragment won't cause word to lockup
    Code:
    Dim appWord as New Word.Application

' Following line causes word to lock up, must be Ctrl + Alt + Del killed
appWord.ActivePrinter = ""

appWord.quit

Set appWord = Nothing
    Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

    The string I am trying to set ActivePrinter to is definetely that of a correct printer and i've tryed adding " on LTP1: to the end of the string, does make any difference, THe following code fragment even crashes word

    Code:
    Dim appWord as New Word.Application
Dim tmpPrinter as string

tmpPrinter = appWord.ActivePrinter
' Following line causes word to lock up, must be Ctrl + Alt + Del killed
appWord.ActivePrinter = tmpPrinter
appWord.quit

Set appWord = Nothing
