Printing files with VB6

Visual Studio325
In an application I have to do I need to print files with different

extensions (.Doc, .Xls, pdf, etc) without seeing the actual content. Because

of the different extension I don't know how can I do it. The data base knows

which files to print from a table in which the field is an hyperlink. If

anybaody knows how to do it or where can I find the code I would appreciate

it a lot

Thanks

Re:Printing files with VB6

You are not going to find a magic control to print anything without; Using

Automation to the associated application (Word for Doc, Excel for

XLS...etc), parsing the contents of the file using information gained at
