Default Excel File to Print - 07-18-2005 , 11:56 AM






I am extracting Data to an Excel Spreadsheet. I would also like to
auto-print the spreadsheet from DTS. Does DTS have a "print" functionality,
or do I issue the print command in a DOS file or within the Spreadsheet?
Anyone have some ideas they can send my way. We are using Windows Server
2003 with SQL 8.00.

Thanks,
Leslie

I would issue the print command from whatever process DTS returns
control to. You could also do it within DTS itself, using an ActiveX
task to call the Excel application object.

Thank you David,

When you talk of issuing the "print command" are you referring to a DOS
batch command file?

If I were to do this with ActiveX, what would the syntax be? I've never
worked with ActiveX. (I'm a bit of a newbie).

Thanks!
