Print AutoCad drawing from Access2003

[Guest]

Hi,

I want to print an AutoCad dwf drawing from Access2003 using VBA. I've
worked out from other posts how to open AutoCad and display the target
drawing. What piece of code will print it? I've tried to locate what I need
at AutoDesk site but no joy. Any help appreciated.

I don't think this is an Access question. If you have Autocad, just
open it and refer to it's help files... It will probably be dependent
on if you have a recent or an old version of Autocad, because as I
recall, the earlier versions didn't use VBA at all, just Autocad's
script files, for programmming.

Charlie,

Thanks for that. You're right of course. However, I've just installed the
free dwf ACad reader and have zero experience of it. I know the two (Access
& ACad) should talk the same language and so I'm guessing the command line to
print is straightforward. I had a dip into the help files and the ADesk
website but, not find what I was after. I was hoping someone out there may
have been involved in this area and would know the solution. Thanks for your
response, I'll keep digging.
