ActivePrinter in macro

[Calvin Lai]

Is it not possible to make it so that a dialog box of list of
installed printers on the workstation pops up and you can choose which
printer to direct the print job to?

Right now, the ActivePrinter statement is hardcoded to a specific
printer, ie, ActivePrinter="\\fpserver\9103hp11"

Calvin...Steven Roman says you can't do this without accessing the registry.
See his book "Writing Word Macros: An Introduction to Programming Word using
VBA," O'Reilly Press, Appendix C.

You can look at the code on their web site.
