Scheduled process to print and delete

Hello,

Is there a way to monitor the contents of a folder (PDF files) on a scheduled task to print to a printer and delete (the file) after successful print? The line of business will dump PDF reports into a folder - I want a scheduled task to monitor this folder, print, and delete.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

jawa29 - thanks much for your response.

I used your script but unfortunately it neither prints not deletes the files. I've added to display msgbox each step of the script and it hits all the loops and captures file name etc. The Err.Number value returned is also 0, however, nothing prints not deletes. Any thoughts?

Also, is it possible to specify the printer as well?

Also, I do get "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found." error message when I run the script and it launches Adobe Reader.
