it's used to restrict the printing. i want the macro to work from the print
button on a purchase order (instead of a big ugly command button in the
middle of the screen.) by doing it like this, when they print the purchase
order, it does everything (prints, saves, emails, rolls the count sequence on
the po #.)

i'll try this next week.

thank you

I'm wondering why you would tie another macro to the print button. Does it
restrict the printing or specify a particular printer?

i have assigned a macro to the print command, (filename is file1.) if i open
another excel spreadsheet (book1 or filename2,) the macro is still assigned
to the print button.

can the print button be reset to set the default command (print)after the
macro has been executed?
