Hi
All i want to do is press a form button and print out a cell range, there
are multiple buttons on the spreadsheet each on to print a different range of
cells on same sheet i used this "ActiveSheet.PrintOut.PageSetup.PrintArea =
"A8:B8" to try and doi it changing the print area but it keeps saying there
is an error, any ideas anybody please, or is there another way to do it
--
thanks
Mike

You could use something like:

With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.PrintArea = "a8:b8"
.PrintOut preview:=True
End With

Or maybe without changing the printrange...

ActiveSheet.Range("a8:b8").PrintOut preview:=True

You could use a cell in a worksheet (that's hidden).

ActiveSheet.Range("a8:b8").PrintOut preview:=True
with worksheets("hiddennamehere").range("a1")
if isnumeric(.value) then
.value = .value + 1
else
.value = 1
end if
end with

But if you use this kind of thing, then you have to save the workbook -- so that
the counter gets saved for the next time.

And it's not always a good thing to just save a workbook without knowing the
other changes that have been made. Is there a real reason to care?

Keep in mind that the cell reference A8:b8 will not change (in your code
module) if in the excel sheet (interface) "someone" moves your range or
inserts a row or column; Giving A8:B8 a name would improve such things.
