Appending Print to File from Windows - How?

[rm8...@inet.d48.lilly.com]

Under windows, when printing to a file, how can I append the new output to a
existing file? If the same name is supplied then the print to file dialog
prompts to over-write the file...I want to add to the file....

Printing from Word 6.0 can append - printing from Word 2.0 or directly from
VB doesn't. I'm interested in printing directly from VB but if this is some
special driver setting I can either make the setting through VB or I'll
write a DLL.

Any idea how this can be done?
I was even messing with special characters within the file name to see if it
would interpret them to append the output????

Thanks for any help
