Hi,

I have found several examples of scripts that use this:
"objItem.InvokeVerbEx("Print")" to print text files.
However, when I use it, I get a dialog box for every single file
printed with the date/time and an OK button.

This is really anoying if you have hundreds of files to Print. I have
seen the issue brought up before, but no answer to the question. I did
try to send it to NUL objItem.InvokeVerbEx("Print") > NULL but that
did nothing at all.

Is there a way to print all the text files in a directory with out
having to click OK 100 times?

My Code:

TargetFolder = "C:\Temp"
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
statval.value = statval.value & TargetFolder & VbCrLf
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(TargetFolder)
Set colItems = objFolder.Items
For Each objItem in colItems
objItem.InvokeVerbEx("Print")
Next

That's not what happens on my machine when I use your code. Since
your code is just invoking the verb of the program that is performing
the Print, through OLE I think, it is not a code problem. What
program is invoked for the Print command when you perform the
operation manually from the right-click context menu for the text file
in question? Does the manual operation require the same OK
confirmation? I suspect that it does, and that it is a setting in
that program that is causing your dilemma. Track that down and get it
to print without confirmation and that should fix the problem.
