Within a quadratic functional integral approach, we investigate the in uence of an external magnetic ÿeld in the uctuation-induced surface-surface interaction of free-standing smectic liquid crystals. We ÿnd that the typical 1=l decay of the Casimir-like contribution to the free-energy of a ÿlm with
