I tested your revised code and it works very well. Would you assist me with
another enhancement? I'd like for the code to be able to print more than
one
copy, let's say 2, for predetermined companies, not all of them, using, if
possible, the list of companies in the "List" worksheet.

if not rTop is nothing then
' changed 10 columns to 6 columns, also the 1 was a typo
.range(rtop,rBottom).Resize(,6).printout
End if
Next
End With
End sub

if you want to determine the number of columns

public Function NumColumns(rng as Range)
max = 1
for each cell in rng
col = rng.parent.cells(cell.row,"IV").End(xltoLeft).Colu mn
if col max then max = col
Next
NumColumns = col
End Function


then in the code

if not rTop is nothing then
' changed 10 columns to 6 columns:
set rng = .range(rtop,rBottom)
rng.Resize(,NumColumns(rng)).Printout
End if

I apologize for not initially giving more details. I tested your code
and it
essentially does what I need. Here are more details that will assist
you in
providing me more specific resolution.

The "Data" spreadsheet contains 6 columns which must included in the
printout (Although it would be nice for the code to determine how many
there
are.) The amount of rows for a company can vary from 1 to multiple
rows. For
example, company1 may have 1 row, company2 may have 3 rows, etc. Most
of the
time there is only one 8.5" x 11.0" printout per company.

I would like to write a VBA macro that reads a predetermined list
of
companies then searches rows in a spreadsheet then, when a match is
found,
whether one row or multiples rows, defines the print area then
finally prints
it. The rows in the spreadsheet are already grouped by company
name. Any
suggestions?
