Hi - I owuld like to use the command-line option /PF to create a PDF from an access /VBA application using the autosave mode but also have the option to create PDF's manually not using the autosave mode.

I manged to open PDF creator in either  autosave or non autosave mode by using two opton.ini files and the lines like:

shell("c:\program pdfcreator\pdfcreator.exe /OptionsFile"C:\auto.ini") or

shell("c:\program pdfcreator\pdfcreator.exe /OptionsFile"C:\default.ini")

This works fine for the first instance but once created further calls dont change the options - i.e. I wanted to change the mode to auto, create the PDF, change the mode back to default:

shell("c:\program pdfcreator\pdfcreator.exe /OptionsFile"C:\auto.ini")
shell("c:\program pdfcreator\pdfcreator.exe /PF"C:\document.doc")
shell("c:\program pdfcreator\pdfcreator.exe /OptionsFile"C:\auto.ini")

But I cant get this to work - how can I change the option file once loaded or close the program from the commandline so I can reopen it in the correct mode?

Thanks
