Thanks, Dave. I tried your first solution. The macro now works like I want it
to.

Follow-up question: Since I dont' know enough to write macros myself, I rely
on macro recording. Why did my recorded macro fix the print range at
$A$1:$E$209 instead of selecting the current region like it wanted it to do
when I clicked on the Select Current Region icon during macro recording?

Or without changing the printarea:

activesheet.range("a1").currentregion.printpreview

Above is a macro I recorded. "DataTopLeft" is cell A1 which contains a
non-printing apostrophe. When recording the macro I started by going to
DataTopLeft. Then I clicked on Select Current Region icon which defined the
region as "$A$1:$E$209". Then I clicked the Set Print Area icon. Then I
clicked on the Print Preview icon. I then clicked the Stop Recording icon.

The print area for next month could be A1 to E215 or A1 to E198 or some
other area.

How can I make the macro do what I want and what I thought I did when I
recorded it, which is select the current range and set that as the print
range?

Thanks.
