Hi David If you print directly to a network queue - as you often do using Novell NetWare - I guess this method wouldn't be useful. /gustav > Thanks Marty, > I think the code at that URL may come close to helping solve the problem. > I haven't had a chance to put it to use and test it yet. > The idea of looking for a document in the print queue sounds like the solution.
