If you don't set the printarea, then excel will just print the used area.

the message depends on the security setting. If you want to increase the
chances of opening a document with a virus, you can lower the security
setting and not be prompted. This has to be done by each individual user.

I am creating a worksheet where the number of entries can
be anywhere from 1 - 200. Each entry is on a new row. I
don't want to set the print range to print all 200 rows
before I save this spreadsheet for the rest of the
department to use. If a user has only entered three lines
of data, there is no reason to waste paper by printing all
200 lines.

Is there a macro I could use to define the print range?

Also, if I enter a macro, is there any way to open the
workbook without having to click "yes: after the
message, "This document contains macros, do you want to
continue?"

Thanks, Brad E.

Thanks Tom.

I forgot one thing though: I have a protected SUM formula
in the last column to keep a running sum as data is
entered. =IF(data is entered in column A, SUM, ""). So
upon printing, Excel prints all 200 lines thinking the ""
is printable.

ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = _
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Address(external:=true)

Put it in the BeforePrint event.

Set your print area to include only the cells to be printed. To do this from code, look up
PrintArea in VBA Help. There are examples.
