Tippex Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Sometimes when _FilePrint is used to print a Word document which has been locked for some reason (eg. it has just been copied from somewhere) a prompt appears asking the User if a read-only copy may be opened [for the purpose of printing it]. I was wondering if there was some way of using _FilePrint to always take a read-only copy to use for printing (so that the pop-up window isn't displayed or has to have additional coding to deal with)? Better still, is there any function (eg. UDF) that can be used to [attempt to] force a file to be unlocked so that Windows doesn't consider it to be "in use" by some process please?
