Show printerdialog when using Word Automation

elwin68

I use Automation to send information from Navision Attain 3.60 to Word.

When I want to print the Word Document immediately I use to command: wrdApp.ActiveDocument.PrintOut;

Now I want to show the printerdialog before printing, so I can change the printer or the printer-properties.

How can I achieve this?

I'm not sure you can show the dialog.
Perhaps you could use a Navision screen to select the printer & pass this onto Word?

I have found the solution myself.
With Word-automation you can show the printer-dialog from Word.

Can you show us the code please?

The printerdialog can be shown by using the following code:

wrdApp.Dialogs.Item(88).Show
