How about instead of ActiveSheet.PrintOut set up a way to get the range for
the area to print and return it in a MsgBox?
or DeBug Print? or....

Printpreview will not work with From:=1, To:=1

You must print

Hi Steven

Try this

Sub test()
If Range("total1") 0 Then ActiveSheet.PrintOut From:=1, To:=1
If Range("total2") 0 Then ActiveSheet.PrintOut From:=2, To:=2
If Range("total3") 0 Then ActiveSheet.PrintOut From:=3, To:=3
If Range("total4") 0 Then ActiveSheet.PrintOut From:=4, To:=4
End Sub

here's my situation, i have a workbook with many sheets in it, each
sheet if
the default print shortcut button was used would print to 4 pages of
A4
paper.

the data on these sheets varies everyday, someday's only 1 page per
sheet
would be full of data others 2, 3, or 4 etc. how could i write a
macro
that
would be able to print only the needed pages?, each page, if it
contains
any
data would have a value in a totals cell.

so i would need code along these lines

Sheets("sheet1").Select
IF(OR(total1="",total1=0),"don't print","don't print") ELSE set
data1 =
TRUE
IF(OR(total2="",total2=0),"don't print","don't print") ELSE set
data2 =
TRUE
IF(OR(total3="",total3=0),"don't print","don't print") ELSE set
data3 =
TRUE
IF(OR(total4="",total4=0),"don't print","don't print") ELSE set
data4 =
TRUE

IF(OR(data1 ="TRUE",data1="FALSE"),"Print Page 1 to 1", "don't
print")
IF(OR(data1 ="TRUE",data1="FALSE"),"Print Page 1 to 2", "don't
print")
IF(OR(data1 ="TRUE",data1="FALSE"),"Print Page 1 to 3", "don't
print")
IF(OR(data1 ="TRUE",data1="FALSE"),"Print Page 1 to 4", "don't
print")

Hope this helps to explain what im trying to do, and someone is able
to
code
something that would work.

Many thanks,
Steve
