I would do it by defining the top left cell as a range
name, eg Start - then the bottom right cell of your data
range as End. In your Macro, use the command F5 or Goto
(Start:End). This way you always get the start & end
selected for your print area. This is fine for just one
block of data - if you need to scroll through periods of
the year depending on what month you are viewing - eg the
12 months from Mar02 - Mar03 if I set my first month as
March02, then you can do nested IF statements in the GOTO
statement to select the top & bottom of the defined range.
It means there's a hell of a lot more defined names though
I haven't found a better way to do this yet. Suggestions?

I have a table to which the print area may change
significantly, and wish to write a macro to defines the
print area.
I have a cell in the spreadsheet, $A$1, whos text defines
the print area (this is done using the CELL("address", )
worksheet function). On the page setup sheet, I can type
into the print area box =INDIRECT($A$1) and the print
area
is set correctly.

I wish to write a macro that enters =INDIRECT($A$1) as
the
print area. Visual Basic does not recognize the INDIRECT
formula from Excell.

Does anyone know how to do this? Or know another way to
write a macro to define the print area without having to
enter the cell range?
