Hi i am using excel to print out cells from a form button using this macro
"ActiveSheet.Range("a8:b8").PrintOut preview:=False" is there a way i can
modify it to count how many times the button is pressed and that amount shown
in an adjecent cell please

thanks

Mike, you could add a line of code to your macro like this, will add 1 to
sheet1 range A1 each time it is run

Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = _
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value + 1

Hello Mike,

Add this code to a VBA module in your workbook. It will place the
number of times the button has been pushed in the cell to the right of
the button and then call the print function.

______________________________
Public Sub ButtonCount()

Dim Col As Long
Dim Row As Long

With ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
Row = .TopLeftCell.Row
Col = .BottomRightCell.Column
End With

With Cells(Row, Col)
.Value = .Value + 1
End With

ActiveSheet.Range("a8:b8").PrintOut preview:=False
End Sub
______________________________

Sincerely,
Leith Ross
