Print a PDF File from Access

I am trying to print a PDF file directly from Access. There are hundreds of PDFs that are in a folder, where i know the path, and the file name is determined from the data that I pull back in access. Is there a way to print this file directly from access. I can open then file using the hyperlink, but I can't figure out how to print it without opening the file and then getting the user to click the print button.

Any help would be great!!!

Thanks!

Hi. You should be able to adapt the VBA code for printing PDFs provided by Colo at his Excel-oriented web site linked here. It does not use Excel-specific features of VBA. Note that there are two code fragments listed; it is the second of these that he is recommending.

I haven't tried this one directly but have adapted other code fragments from his site with no problems at all.
