We have a problem in our organisation with students pressing the print
button multiple times to print out a document.

Is there any way that printing can be limited with vba ?

What we really want is for the print button to work only once for a
document. Or even make it work once every 30 secs or so, enough time
for them to see that it's printing :)

Cheers,

The easiest solution would be to customise the toolbar (View, Toolbars,
Customize). Drag off the Print button and replace it with the Print...
button (under Commands tab and File category). The two buttons look
identical but Print... takes you to the print dialog box which should
convince even the most impatient student their clicks have had an effect!
