Hi all
The following code has worked for years in sending a click-selected .doc 
file to any default printer:
sFile = Filename


Call RunShellExecute(sTopic, sFile, sParams, sDirectory, SW_SHOWDEFAULT)

The document loads into MSOffice Word 2007, prints, and the program returns 
to continue as expected.  So far, this has been flawless in systems 
operating with Win XP.  Since attempting to run this from Windows 7, 
however, the function does not work.  Does Win 7 execute Shells differently?

Any ideas appreciated.

Don
