remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable

I have a client that uses Word to generate mailing labels on Windows NT. They
keep getting this error message when running the labels program:

"The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable in
Project1.frmSaReceive.PrintLabels at line 102"

Can anyone help?

Here is the code behind the main form:
Option Explicit

112 If lngSeconds = 0 Then
114 lngSeconds = 120 'default to 2 minutes if no command line

I don't think so; I believe all the references are fully qualified. Maybe I
missed one, but I can't see it?

Thanks,

The error message you get:

"The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable in
Project1.frmSaReceive.PrintLabels at line 102"

is generated by the code:

PrintLabels_Err:
MsgBox Err.Description & vbCrLf & _
"in Project1.frmSaReceive.PrintLabels " & _
"at line " & Erl
Resume Next

Which seems to indicate that the error originated in:

102 While objWord.BackgroundPrintingStatus > 0

which is under a private module called

Private Sub PrintLabels()

When you debug that particular module, what is happening on the screen? How
many documents open? How about the Print queue?
I do not see "objWord" being declared in the module, how is PrintLabels
invoked?
