print in report generation

[LVCoder]

Dear all,

I am using Report Generation Toolkit to create a report of my project.

I am using "Word" type Report and want the VI to print it after creating the report.

However i dont want it to open the MS Word and just want it to print it right away.

I am using alot of VIs specific to MS Word.

Is there any way i can print the report without opeing MS Word??

Thanks,

Ritesh

Hi Ritesh,

I don't think you can use the 'Word' type report VI's without opening Word itself, but what you certainly can do is to open Word and have it either minimised or hidden so the operator doesn't see the window. Then you can get your VI to automatically print the report and close Word down once the operation is completed.

Regards,

Andy

 Hi Andy,

I even tried that thing but it didn't work as the Printing wont start if the Word Document is opened in Minimize mode. Only when the Word Doc gets maximised, the VI starts the printing process.
