Hi,

We have a requirement is to print excel spreadsheet form the form.

Using OLE2 we are managed to open the required excel spreadsheet.

But, we would like to invoke either printer/print preview/pagesetup dialog box in excel automatically when they press button on Forms.

Any idea ... Thanks in Advance.

Cheers,
... Raj

PS: We are using Forms v 9.0.4.0.19

Hi Salim,

Thanks for your reply.

As I mentioned we are using 10g-application server.
We don't have a control on client level excel application once we drop it middle-tier.
It's hard to implement the macro on each client PC.

Oracle providing a utility ORARRP to invoke printer dialog, but it does not suit for excel files.

That's why we are looking some OLE2 function that will invoke printer.

Cheers,
... Raj
