Allow Users To Print Hidden Sheet But Not Change Print Settings
Jul 2, 2009
I am having trouble disabling the "Preview" button when calling Application.Dialogs(xldialogprint) in XL2003. I have an xlSheetVeryHidden worksheet containing a form which is made visible programatically when the user wishes to print a copy (code below). I want the user to be able to have access to the functionality of the xlDialogPrint dialog (i.e. select desired print destination, number of copies, pages per sheet etc.) but I also want to prevent them modifying the page setup of the protected worksheet by initiating a preview from the print dialog.
Private Sub btnPrintReturnForm_Click()
wbkRUSC.Unprotect sysPass 'unprotect workbook to enable changes to sheet visibility
' (sysPass is project constant string containing password)
shtStaffForm.Visible = xlSheetVisible 'make staff form visible
shtCalc.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden 'hide main calculator in case user gets smart and hits..............................
I'm just looking to prevent users from using the print screen or the alt print screen buttons on the keyboard. I have this script that works if I use "39" (Right Arrow)but wont work if I use "42" (Print Screen Button).
I have been using this to print multiple sheets. The only problem is if you want all sheets in the workbook you have to check every one. How would I add an option to 'print all'? But I still wouldn't want to print the hidden sheets.
Option Explicit
Sub SelectSheets() Dim i As Integer Dim TopPos As Integer Dim SheetCount As Integer Dim PrintDlg As DialogSheet Dim CurrentSheet As Worksheet Dim cb As CheckBox Application.ScreenUpdating = False
' Check for protected workbook If ActiveWorkbook.ProtectStructure Then MsgBox "Workbook is protected.", vbCritical Exit Sub End If...............
Is there a way to force a print RANGE, and add settings such as margins, and print to range to 1 page wide and 1 page tall? Can this be set with VBA? I tried to make a marcro but it crashes. This is for Excel 2002.
At my company we need to print our workbooks containing 3 to 24 worksheets. The first page should be printed on different paper than the other pages. From various forums I gathered that it's not possible to set the papertray using vba. Those forums suggest 3 things: 1. Windows Api functions (don't work at our company(security)), 2. SendKeys (don't work because of different printers, office versions and future-proofness) and 3.
Define printerdrivers per tray.
This last I did, so there are printerdrivers for tray3 and tray4.
With the following code I try to print the workbook:
Public Sub printSheets(strP1 As String, strP2 As String) Dim curPrinter As String, firstPage As Worksheet, otherSheet As Worksheet, x As Integer Set firstPage = Application. ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1) curPrinter = Application.ActivePrinter
The problem: The sheets are sent to the printers specified as strP1 and strP2, but the tray-settings from these printers are "overruled" by Excel; they are printed from the papertray that was the default of the printer when Excel was started.
Also, using the default printer dialog from Excel has the same problem; when the (windows-)default printer is Tray3 then all the pages come from there, even when printer Tray4 is selected as the printer. In Word or Acrobat etc the prints come from the right tray.
I've found some code which works to print certain pages with value in cell A1 but I need to print dynamic ranges on some of the sheets as they will have filters on so the rows ranges will be different each time.
So far this is what I have but the dynamic range part is not working:
VB: Sub Print_All_Worksheets_With_Value_In_A1() Dim Sh As Worksheet Dim Arr() As String Dim N As Integer
I currently have a template that I have made and all the info and everything is fine on it, but the problem is with printing. Every time I go to print it wants to print out 100 copies of the same thing. I tried editing the original template by printing 1 copy then saving the template, but it still wants to print 100 copies with the next try. how to customize what the print settings are for the template and make them stay permanent with the template?
I am trying to copy the print settings(including the headers and footers) for one excel worksheet to another. I have found the following hint on internet and it works fine for copying the print setting(including the head/foot) but it is also grouping the worksheets. Click on the tab of the worksheet you want to copy. Then hold down the Shift or Ctrl key and click on the tab of the worksheet where you want the settings and click on File, Page Setup and OK. How can I just copy the print setting without grouping the worksheets?
I have about 100 different workbooks that all need to have the same format and page set up for printing. The different workbooks just all need to be setup to have landscape.
How do I change the print settings of individual pages within a worksheet. Specifically, I'd like my worksheet to print out 4 pages, the first as portrait and the remaining as landscape.
Is it possible to set the same print area and print settings i.e. Landscape and 1 page tall by 2 pages wide, across all worksheets in an excel file? I have a file with 365 worksheets. They all have the exact same layout and need to be printed off daily. I can set the print settings every day manually but was wondering if there is an easy way to do them all in one go?
At work I have a register/log. Its just a printout of a standard format in excel sheet. I print a month of sheets at a time and write the day and date on it by hand at the top. Is there some formula in excel by which it prints the dates as well in a progressive manner. Eg. If today is 29th May 2014 and today I print 30 copies of the register/log. The first copy has todays date on it and the the next one had tomorrows date....and the 30th copy automatically has the end of April 2014 printed on it.
I've found this code but cannot get it to work.
My workbook is called Shift Log, the worksheet is called v2 and I'm using Excel from MS Office Professional Plus 2010 (32bit)
#Private Sub Workbook_SheetBeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Sh As Object, _ ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) Dim sDate, i retryDate: sDate = InputBox("Enter the starting date, or click 'OK'" & _ " for the current date", "Start Date")
I have a worksheet with hidden rows and Page Breaks. I know that the page breaks are causing my worksheet to print blank pages where I have page breaks and hidden rows.
I need the page breaks or the form just prints a mess... I tried eliminating them - but that didn't work at all.
I need a macro, which will examine the worksheet, look for the hidden rows, exclude them from the print area, and then Print the worksheet.
We run a small gardening shop and use a simple spreadsheet to track of various things.
Row A contains headers, with the data following in the rows underneath. This table is now quite large, and we therefore hide 600 or so rows so that only rows with data from the last week is shown. We often need to print this for easy reference. I currently do this by highlighting the area I want and setting it as print area. The print therefore doesn't include hidden cells, which is what I need.
The problem we have, therefore, is that we have to manually select this print area each time. My experience with macros is VERY limited, to the point where I can record one which will select the print area and print. However, as the list gets longer and more rows are hidden the range obviously needs to change, and my simple macro will not keep up.
So my question is as follows. Is there a simple macro I could write to assign to a button that could "keep up" with the moving range? So either it always prints the header row and the, for example, 50 rows beneath (exlcuding the hidden ones), or, even better, it prints the header row and all rows with data in them that are relevant to the last week. Each row has a cell for the date it concerns so assume this may be possible?
All sheets are basically the same except some minor values, names and addresses. There is one page per sheet and all pages are in portrait format. The print preview shows all the pages in order but when I print it, it makes multiple print jobs of 1 to 2 pages each and prints them all out of order. I don't know why it is splitting up the workbook or why it changes the order. I print and reorder these weekly, which is a major pain. It comes out in the same order each time but it is the wrong order.
I am trying to have a file print in legal size if I have 56 lines filled in otherwise print in regular letter size. Does anyone know how to write this in VBA.
Since upgrading to Windows 2007 (I was already using Excel 2007) I am having issues with the content in the cells on the worksheet not appearing the same on Print Preview and when I print. On the worksheet the cell show to be at the best fit both horizontally and vertically. When I look at the contents under print preview, the contents are squashed from the top and cut off from the left. This happens whether I have the format in Top or Central align and is even worse if I use Bottom align. It is also somewhat worse if I have thickened boarders.
Using Excel 2010: I have 2 rows (A4:J4 & A5:J5) selected as print titles that I would like to be printed at the top of selected pages. Currently, my document is 3 pages long, and I would like to have the print titles only applied to the first 2 pages. More data will be added in the future on pages 1&2 but the last page (whatever page number it ends up being) should not contain the selected print titles.
I just converted from Excel 2003 to 2007 and print previewed a worksheet and find a tiny image with a small portion of the print area. When I look at the sheet in page break preview mode, I see the 8.5 x 11 sheet broken up into approx 77 smaller sheets. When I try to move the page breaks to include the whole sheet it states the change cannot be made as it will result in an image less than 10%. I have attached two images - the first shows the print preview I get, and the second show the multiple pages when I view in page break.
I have a pretty large spreadsheet set up that invoices our clients. A few tabs in the front allow us to globally invoice if we did certain services for all clients and then we can also go into each tab and invoice each client for specific services performed on their property. Some invoices are two pages long and other may be up to seven pages long and anywhere in between... So that's the first issue, how do you find how many pages to print and then set the print range for each invoice.
The second issue centers around being able to print all the invoices at one time.
The spreadsheet is set up in this manner: A recap sheet we print to check off that each invoice was printed; an IIF statement to get the Excel info into QuickBooks; a template to set up each invoice's information with dates, dates services were performed,etc.; then there are five Global billing tabs where I can invoice all accounts globally or by their type of account (Saturday or Sunday open, 24/7 etc.); then we get into the tabs for each account. Each account has its own tab with an invoice loaded inside where we can itemize the services they received. Inside all these individual account tabs we have set up 'Zone' tabs where we can invoice all the clients we set up within a zone. There are about twenty of these tabs. Then at the end I have a few more tabs that aren't used any longer, there are about ten tabs there...
Is there a way I can hit Print and get all of my invoices to print out at one time versus having to go into each and every tab, set the print range, and then hit Print for all 250ish invoices?
This is the biggest complaint I have right now about the invoicing program I have set up...
I am trying to come up with a way to print out data that is variable in the amount of rows to print.
1. Cells C1 thru M6 is heading of report 2. Cells C7 thru M400 all have formulas and display information only when criteria in Column C in each row is met, if condition is not met it displays no informtion. (There lies my problem).
I need a way to print out only the area that information is displayed in and skip the areas that are not displayed. (Currently I have hard coded the print range using the largest report)
I have a "submit" button macro which user would click after he has finished his input. This macro would update a reference number on the worksheet named "orange" and then print out this worksheet.
My purpose is "orange" is printed out with a reference number.
I want my worksheet to require validation of entry data before printing, so I decided to use the "Workbook_BeforePrint" event, and display a simple dialog box with an "ok" or a "cancel" button as input options.
The problem is that, as coded, "cancel" button does not cancel the print.
I have a spreadsheet with 28 visible tabs. When I select all tabs and print, I get 3 cover (or banner) pages...I like having the first banner page, but the other two are in the middle of my report. I assume excel is sending 3 print jobs and I'm not sure why.
I've seen a couple of posts regarding this issue when using VBA, but I'm not using VBA...just selecting all the sheets and sending a single print job, but get 3 banner pages.
I am trying to create a simple code that will allow me to print a range that will change according to the initial inputs. The columns will never change, however the rows will.
So far I have:
Sub PrintLog() Dim Printer As Range Set Printer = ActiveSheet.Range("a9", Range("e65536").End(xlUp)) Printer End Sub
I have a few macros that run in a sheet. After the macros are finnished I would like to present to the user a msgbox that asks if they would like to print. if "Yes" is selected, the print macro runs. If "No" is pressed then nothing happens.
I have a workbook that has a total of 44 tabs; tab 1 = 'Summary' and then 'T1' through 'T43'. When I go to print the workbook, I do what I always do with other workbooks: I select all sheets and hit Print. On this workbook, tabs 'T15' through 'T43' print first, and then 'Summary' through 'T13' print. Tab 'T14' does not print unless I print it separately from the rest.
I am not using any code to do this printing. I am right-clicking on a tab and selecting all sheets and then using the standard Excel toolbar or File...Print menus. When I view it in Print Preview with all sheets selected, T14 is there and looks fine. There are no extra page breaks that I can see.
