I think you can do that by adding files in the Template.inf file which contains the list of files produced by the Wizard.

I am now using a datatable cmboConnections.DataSource = connectionTable cmboConnections.DisplayMember = "name" cmboConnections.ValueMember = "ID" Which populates my combobox but i have no way of retrieving the Valuemember from the selectedIndexchanged event. Does anyone no how to get the ValueMember from a selected item? I have tried using the SelectedIndexChanged Event but the combobox.SelectedValue is a datarow and cannot be converted to string apparently? Any suggestions this is quite urgent Thanks for your help Chris

Hey all thanks for the help, are those examples in C++ ? cant really understand them for my lack of knowledge of C++. Thansk again Chris

I agree Chris, MS HTML Help is a pain to use. I've switched to RoboHelp (www.robohelp.com[^]), haven't looked back since. It's NOT free tho :( Hope this helps :suss: Rommel the iCeMAn, Computer Programmer, Barbados, West Indies.

That's better. Word will actually have to do the printing. The PDF printer will just render into a .PDF what Word outputs when it prints. If you're just going to convert Word documents, you can use the Word (Office) automation model to load the document, select the printer, then print the document. It's been covered dozens of times in the forum, just search for Word using the "Search comments" link. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Apologies. I know the feeling. Will take for future. Thanks C

Hey, Thanks Mike, i will try that. The man from .... you have to store the filename from teh openDialogBox and use the code that mike has said. Hope this helps Thanks Chris

No, you can't prevent it from happening unless the driver exposes any interface to do so. It looks like the only interface supplied by the manufacter of the .PDF Printer Driver is the registry hack. If it doesn't work, then your best bet is to either contact the manufacturer for support on the component (and possibly an update) or find another component that has the (working) functionality you need.
