OK, Let's try something slightly different. Create a small macro and run
it. A message box will appear telling you what the syntax is for your
current printer. To do this...

Select...
'TOOLS' then 'MACRO' then 'VISUAL BASIC EDITOR'

Select...
'INSERT MODULE'

Enter the following text...

Sub Test()
MsgBox Application.ActivePrinter
End Sub

Put your cursor on the line 'MsgBox Application.ActivePrinter'.
Press the 'F5' key or select...
'RUN' then 'RUN SUB/USER FORM'

A Message Box will appear with something like...
hp officejet 6100 series on Ne00:

Very similar to what you have...
"Acrobat Distiller on Ne00:"


Hopefully, it's slightly different and by making the 'correction', your
macro will work.

Good Luck.
Sincerely,

Thanks for this suggestion, Gary. I feel a little foolish, but I don't know
how to do what you are suggesting. Adding the script you suggested to my
existing macro did not work. What do I do to run this?

Maybe the new configuration looks at the printer differently.
Run this...
Debug.Print Application.ActivePrinter
to check out what the syntax should be.
Don't know if this will solve your problem, however.
Good Luck and Hope this Helps,

I use the macro below with Hyperion Enterprise Retreive (an Excel

add-in) to
run a series of reports and save them to PDF files. The macro works

great
with my Win2000Pro machine running Excel 2000, but I've been upgraded to

an
XP machine with Excel 2003. The macro gets stuck on the row:
Application.ActivePrinter = "Acrobat Distiller on Ne00:"
Any thoughts as to why?

Thanks,

Marc



Range("$K$1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "report1"
Range("$c$21").Select

Dim PSFileName As String
Application.ActivePrinter = "Acrobat Distiller on Ne00:"
Application.Goto Reference:="r1c1"
Let PSFileName = Application.ActiveCell
SendKeys PSFileName & "{ENTER}", False
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$G$1:$AM$83"
ActiveSheet.PrintOut , PrintToFile:=True
PSFileName = Chr(34) & PSFileName & Chr(34)

PSFileName = Chr(34) & PSFileName & Chr(34)

The macro continues on for a list of around 50 reports...
