Thanks for yoru response rlrcstr,
So you're using client side vbscript to automate the WORD application, this
will require the client user to grant our web applciation sufficient
permission (in the trust zone for example....). Also, client side scrpit is
not quite stable for rich application functionality. Would you consider
using an ActiveX control or something else if you do need to do such rich
client operations...
Thanks,

| I'm using a Word automation solution. The only issue I'm running into is
that Word doesn't always print. I think that the printing is getting
canceleed when Word is closed by my script. Is there a way to see if Word
is done printing before I close it?
| This is all code and I'm not making Word visible..
| Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
| objWord.Visible = True objWord.Documents.Add
Replace(document.url,"TrxWizVCheckInfo.aspx","VCheckAuth.doc")
| objWord.ActiveDocument.FormFields("Total").Result =
document.getElementById("TrxInfo1_lblTotal").innerText
| objWord.ActiveDocument.FormFields("PayerName").Result =
document.getElementById("txtAcctName").Value
| objWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut
| 'I need to wait for Word to finish printing here...
| objWord.Quit 0
| Thanks.
