need help trying to open a bound image for printing

[mphotographer via AccessMonster.com]

Does anybody have any ideas on how to open a bound Autocad file from the form
window and automatically go through the printing steps needed upon entering
Autocad to print the 40+" image?

I am trying to bind all this to a command button. I was told it needs to be
"stupid proof". That is the reason for trying to bind everything to command
button.

you talk about bound autocad file and the 40+ images? Is it an autocad
drawing (dxf, dwg,...) or is it an image (jpg, gif, png,...)? Basically, do
you need to open autocad and automate autocad to do the printing or can you
simply use another means to print the image?

it is a dwg file. i am able to print a small version of it just by using
the report, but in order to print a drawing that is 40" i have to open CAD to
do it. My sticking point is automating that printing process.
I can open CAD easy enough...but unsure how to tackle the following steps in
code.

Private Sub LargePrint_Cmd_Click()

Shell "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MDT 2007\acad.exe"

End Sub
