Word has a field "PrintDate" which presumably displays a property. This is the last time the doc was printed. As Dave says, this property will only be saved if the user saved the doc after printing. That is why, when you open and print a document and close it, word asks if you want to save. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Smart Sent: Thursday, 14 May 2009 7:28 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Print query I don't think Word or Excel record the fact that they have been printed anywhere in the respective documents. Even if they did, this would only be of use if the document had been saved after being printed - which probably won't happen if the user has only opened the document to print it.
