hello Dev

I m using the above code to open a document from Document management system ie SAP database and print. the code works fine for 2003 version but it gives error if 2007 documents are printed.

in MS word 2007 you have an option to always save in .doc rather than by default .docx

try this:

Go to transaction smw0, press table ICON at top right, next press execute button.

Next screen via menu Settings->maintain mime types.

Here you can maintain all sorts of document types.
