I have built a VB App which prints a succession (several hundred in some
cases) of Access Snapshot (.snp) files to a network printer (these could
have been any printable files).
Due to network problems arising if there are too many files in the spool
queue, I count the number of Jobs in the queue and (by pausing the App at a
suitable point), ensure that this never exceeds a set number (5 say). A form
displays the progress and status (Number of files out of total sent to
spooler / Sending to Spooler / Waiting for Printer etc.).
This all works very well indeed but I should like to "put the icing on the
cake": I should like to display the Spooler Print queue window while the App
is processing these files. Obviously, it can be done by manually opening the
window via the Printers Window, but it would be preferable if this could be
done programmatically.
Any ideas please?
