thanks Peet, but i didn't get a solution. I pasted the code you suggested right beneath the ShellExecute Call....Nothing happened....The Appln is still open...Am i wrong somewhr?

My code :
VB Code:
  1. ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "Print", sFile, vbNullString, vbNullString, 1
  2.  'Print code
  3.  DoEvents
  4.  'send Alt + F4 to shutdown the Adobe app.
  5.  SendKeys "%{F4}"
