that is kinda annoying.

I think i fixed it by recording a macro of me dragging the auto page breaks
to the side and all the way down (this throws off my print size percentage,
but i fix that with pagesetup.zoom=xx).
I had just hoped that there was an easier way to do this.

Thanks though

You can't turn off automatic page breaks. Excel adds breaks whenever you
exceed the margins of the page. You must put your page breaks into the
worksheet before the automatic breaks take place so you don't get extra page
breaks.

The usable area of the page is 11" - (top margin + bottom margin)

You may have to make the top and botom margins smaller or put less rows on
each page.

Tried changing the bottom margin to 1.5 and it did nothing as to what i
wanted it to do.
I feel that you have misunderstood me, i will reexplain

So I want to have the page breaks where i put them in the previously posted
code clip. when i do run this code i get rogue automatic page breaks within
my set (and wanted) page breaks, turning my one page into 4 seperate pages.
these are the page breaks that i am having problems removing.

thanks for posting

You page breaks have to be inside the margins for the page. Change the Top
and bottom margins on the page

With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.75)
.BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(1.5)
End With

I am having problems with the automatic page breaks.

I have written this code and it sets up the column and row widths and
heights and then sets the page breaks where they should be.

My problem is that VBA puts page breaks in also and so that throws off my
printing. the code under the ???? line is my page breaks within a loop.

Thanks for replies
