As an alternative, if your users have Microsoft Office 2003 and up, they should have the "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" installed or available.____This "printer" directs the output by default to a .MDI file format. Within the program, you can save documents as TIFF if you want.____Unlike PDFs, MDIs can be annotated and marked up. For an all Microsoft shop, they^re a much better choice.

I appreciate the information though, you^ve given me some things to think about.____Thanks,__Randal

I had the same problem, so I created a dbase program in which I use the DO WHILE in it. It will gather up the information and save the invoice number to a variable, then it will print it using the CutePDF printer driver. Since you can not carry the file name over on the CutePDF printer driver, the variable I used shows it on the screen. Now when the dialog box appears the user enters the invoice number and presses the Save push button. It takes a little time, but at least it works. Once the invoice has been saved as a pdf, it then get the next invoice and the process continues.____If you are using XP, then you can use the pdf drivers that are free with the R&R program. Here you can actually assign the name of the file and directory without having to enter the invoice number. But this only works with XP and not Vista or Windows7.____Tom Freitas
