Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4672 Loc: The Netherlands	Guy's, Does anybody know why I get error "6 - The handle is invalid" when using the print UDF to print a file that supports printing? Running WinXP SP2 and kix 4.50. Checked if the file might be opened by some other app but that’s not true. Print() udf Code: Print('c:\test.txt') If @error "ERROR OCCURED:" @serror Sleep 3 EndIf content of the test.txt file: Code: bla some more bla even more bla bla bla bla Edited by Mart (2005-08-17 01:33 PM) _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4672 Loc: The Netherlands	Like Richard said the ? is sort of the same as @CRLF it displays the output in console on a new line just like @CRLF lets you start at the beginning of a new line. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4672 Loc: The Netherlands	If this is so (is not but lets assume it is) then the printer should at least barf out the document because the print command is before the output and it does not print anything. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Stanley Stanley Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2004-06-03 Posts: 130 Loc: Upstate NY, USA	OK OK I get it. I guess my Irish coffee hasn't kicked in yet. Using OS W2K PRO KIX 4.23 There is an error returned from this line $!=$.namespace($_).parsename($_file) "Member not found." Which I am assuming causes the error in this line $!.invokeverbex("print") "The handle is invalid." _________________________ Taxation WITH representation isn't so hot, either!

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4672 Loc: The Netherlands	Stanley, Sorry about the cold showers we gave you Ok, getting one step further. Paging Lonkero! Lonk, you wrote the UDF. Is there an issue with XPSP2 as far as you know? I'm unable to see because I don’t get the createobject stuff yet.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4672 Loc: The Netherlands	Oke, now it does print the file but it still does not work like said in the UDF comments: Quote: Invokes Printer selection GUI and Prints the file to selected printer The printer selection GUI is displayed breefly but it just prints to the default printer. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	you could try to replace: $!=$.namespace($_).parsename($_file) with: "Connect to folder " $_ " errors with: " $!=$.namespace($_) @error ? "Connect to file " $_file " in that folder errors with: " $!=$!.parsename($_file) @error ? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4672 Loc: The Netherlands	No joy yet. Well at least it prints but that has been achieved whit the earlier by maciep suggested modification. Keeps on printing to the default printer. No matter if it is a .doc .txt .xls or whatever. No errors all 0's Quote: Connect to folder c:\ errors with: 0 Connect to file test.doc in that folder errors with: 0 Connect to folder c:\ errors with: 0 Connect to file test.doc in that folder errors with: 0 Used code: Code: ReDirectOutput ("c:\error.txt") Call @SCRIPTDIR + "\print.kix" Print("c:\test.doc") Sleep 3 Edited by Mart (2005-08-28 07:51 PM) _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.
