RE: [PHP-WIN] OLE/COM stuff - let's have some fun with Word andAc robat!

OK, I'm most of the way there, I think. I have started a macro... but it requires some interaction and I don't know VB well enough to fix it. It starts with opening the document (probably to be done in PHP) then prints the document using the PDF Distiller or PDF Maker (problem exists using either)... then it asks for a Save As name and location (Save As dialog box) which then requires a user interaction. The default is fine... How do I tell the macro to go ahead and save (like a user pressing the [Save] button"? --------------------- John Asendorf - jasendorf@lcounty.com Web Applications Developer http://www.lcounty.com - NEW FEATURES ADDED DAILY!
