Just a guess, but you do have more than 1 page to print, without any manual
pagebreaks ?
Otherwise, there will not be any automatic page breaks ?
Also, how are you testing if they are automatic ? Something like my code
below, but with xlPageBreakAutomatic ?

Thanks again, NickHk. Since I recently started with VBA, winging my way
through it, I bought a book to help the process. I got hung up on this
pageBreak problem, which is really tangential to my main concern, and your
post was very helpful. I'm grateful. (I still can't, however, return page
breaks that are automatic!)
Thanks,

Debug (or Immediate) is one of the Windows you have available to see
direct
output from your app, or test results.
If it is not visible, go to ViewImmediate
Look there to see the result of any Debug.Print statements.

As for "Next", it marks the end of the "For Each..." block. Check the
help
for loops.

Hi, NickHK
Thanks for the very useful response. I'm new at this. The last two
lines
of
my code were put there simply to let me step through it several
times,
clearing the results and changing the HPageBreaks() subscript to
observe
the
results. I just wanted to know where all the page breaks occur. I see
the
logic of what you've written and I will try that. I've not run into
the
code,
"Debug.Print", so, not yet having tried it, I don't know what it does.
Ditto
for the line,"Next." Can you tell me something about these lines?

Again, thanks a lot for giving a rookie a hand.

JCIrish,
Not sure what you are trying to achieve with the code but you will
only
be
to work with HPageBreaks(2), if it exists, hence the Subscript
error.
To work with all Hbreaks:
Dim myHPageBreak As HPageBreak
For Each myHPageBreak In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1).HPageBreaks
With myHPageBreak
Debug.Print "Manual ? : " & CBool(.Type = xlPageBreakManual)
Debug.Print "Location : " & .Location.Address(, , xlR1C1)
End With
Next
End Sub

Here is a simple code I've written that returns page break
locations,
but
only those page breaks that I've inserted manually. It won't
return
page
breaks that Excel inserts automatically. If I try to get these
page
breaks
I
get the message, "subscript out of range. Can anybody tell me why?
And
how
to
use this type of simple code to get automatic page breaks?

Sub pageBreakA1C1()

'will find only those page breaks that were manually inserted
'won't find those inserted automaticall by Excel

Dim myPageBreakA1C1
myPageBreakA1C1 =
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1).HPageBreaks(2).Locati on.Address(, ,
xlR1C1)
Range("A3").Select
Selection = myPageBreakA1C1
Range("A4").Select
Range("A3").ClearContents

End Sub
