Adobe PDF - Auto name files

Hi all,

I want to output reports in pdf format. I have setup some code to select the Adobe PDF printer and then open the report. It then prompts me for a filename and location (popup explorer window).

What I want to do is pre-set the filename and its save path so the user doesnt have a say in the matter!

Is there anyway to do this??

Cheers

Phil

You need some kind of sendkeys action.

Try something like this

SendKeys "^p~" & filename & "~", False
