Setting a variable print area
 

I am trying to write a macro that will set a print area within a sheet. I have tried to record a macro to set it to a selection using shift, control and the arrow keys (as in how you highlight a range of cells), but when I set the print area it sets it to the actual cells, so if the selection changes, the print area won't

Is there any way of doing this, bearing in mind that the selection needed to print will change each time?

Hi
try the following to always print your current selection:

Sub PrintDailyList()
dim rng as range
set rng = selection
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.PrintArea = rng.address
end with
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
end sub
