I would like a macro to print 2 sheets in a workbook. I can write the macro that will select the sheets I want, but I don't want it to just go and print because depending on if the user wants it printed in color, b&w, etc.
they have to choose a different color. What code do I use to open the print dialog box?
I know I've seen where the print Dialog window can be opened.
Is there a way to open the Print PROPERTIES Dialog window?
I'm trying to find the code for a macro that I can link to a button so that when i click on it - it opens up the print dialog box.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a (semi-inherited) macro that prints different pages of a workbook, based on whether and what their entries are. One of the pages contains a text box, where users will enter different lengths of text. When the macro runs, it prints right the first time but also "resizes" the text box so that future print attempts only print part of it.
I put "resize" in quotes because the text box does not appear to change shape. However, when I look at its properties it suddenly says it is much smaller than it was before (and still appears to be).
Is there a way to have the print dialog box come up, make a selection, and put that selection into a variable?
Ex:
Code:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrint).Show
brings up the print dialog. I need to be able to select the printer and have the selected printer put into a variable in my vba code.
I have tried Ex: w=Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrint).Show, but all I get is w=true
The reason I need it is because I will be printing via vba code, but the printer may vary for different print jobs.

x = ActiveSheet.Name
Sheets("page 1").Select
a = ActiveCell.Address(True, True)
Sheets("narrative").Select
d = ActiveCell.Address(True, True)
'(repeat for other worksheets - also sets values for Loan2Amt, Q & Z,
'which govern whether other unrelated sheets need to be printed.)
'
'tests whether there is text in Overflow sheet and sets print area if there is
If q 0 Then
Call OverflowPrintArea.............

When a user Opens this particular Workbook I want them to put their name into an Input Box so that it appears on the Footer of each sheet. I have several Sheets in this particular Workbook. If they do not put there name in I want the workbook to close. I am having problems with the code I am using. Please see below:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim strName As String
strName = InputBox(Prompt:="Your Name Please.", _
Title:="Please Enter Your Name", Default:="Enter Name Here")
If strName = "Enter Name Here" Or _
strName = vbNullString Then
Exit Sub
Else: strName = vbNotNullString
Worksheets("Front Page").RightFooter = strName
End If
End Sub
As you can see I still need a code after the first IF statement to close workbook. My main issue is after the else.

I have data that daily needs to be refreshed and printed to pdf.
I figure the simplest way to do this would be to task schedule the workbook to open daily. Then on open it will refresh the data, print it after all data has been refreshed and close the workbook.
I set it up originally without the need to print so I have all the queries set to refresh when opening the file, however when I now try and put the code to print to pdf on the workbook open event it runs before the queries are finished running. (Query notes: queries were created through Microsoft query, and are accessing a MySQL database queries set to refresh when opening the file queries set to enable background refresh).
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.

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.
I am using TrueType Fonts.
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
