Problem Prining word document from Access

[Guest]

I have the following code which prints a word document from an Access form.
It works fine but I end up with an instance of winword.exe staying open every
time the code is run. If anyone can tell me what I am missing I would
greatly appreciate it.

Dim objApp As Object
Dim objDoc As Object

If Me![Notice] = "Yes" Then
Set objApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set objDoc = objApp.Documents.Open("c:\notice.doc")
objDoc.PrintOut
objDoc.Close
Set objDoc = Nothing
Set objApp = Nothing
End If

I haven't been able to reproduce this - your original code does not leave an
instance of Word open on my system - so I can't say for sure whether this
will solve your problem or not, but you could try calling the Quit method of
the Word Application object ...

Set objDoc = Nothing
objApp.Quit '<--- new code here
Set objApp = Nothing

Oops! On closer examination I see that I was mistaken, the original code
*was* leaving an instance of Word in memory. Calling Quit does appear to
solve the problem.
