From VBA's immediate window:

?xlLandscape
2

objWS.PageSetup.Orientation = xlLandscape
would become
objWS.PageSetup.Orientation = 2

(What was iXrow equal to when you ran it the first time?)

Alexander,
Many thanks for your help I'll give that a go, Any
suggestions on the Gridlines & Orientation = xlLandscape?

Just change this line
sRange = "A1:H" & iXrow
to:
Set sRange = objWS.Range("A1:H" & iXrow)

Hi,
I have a Visual Basic 6 program that output's data to an
excell work sheet, but get error when trying to set the
page up prior to printing:
err 1004:
Unable to set the printArea property of the PageSetup
class

Can someone please help? Many thanks.

Dim objXL As Object
Dim objWB As Object
Dim objWS As Object

Set objXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set objWB = objXL.Workbooks.Add
Set objWS = objWB.ActiveSheet

sRange = "A1:H" & iXrow
objWS.PageSetup.PrintArea = sRange
objWS.PageSetup.PrintGridlines = True
objWS.PageSetup.Orientation = xlLandscape
objWS.Range("A1:H1").Interior.ColorIndex = 15
.

.
