Why open the Print dialog just to Cancel it?  That doesn't make sense.

Try reversing the procedure, so that you invoke the Page Setup, then normal
close it (accept the settings you make). Then invoke the print command.


Doing things in that reverse order seems backward.

Hi Gary,
Yes, it sure does seem backward. However it is a constraint of my current project whose details I won't bore you with. Suffice to say, If I have absolutely no choice, I'll re-architect my workflows do things in "proper" order. However, this is the current scenario presented to me, and I'd like to know if I've run into a limitation of UI scripting with no solution, or if someone has an answer that will allow me to cancel one dialog then invoke another.


Dan
