I tried from the sheet where the cell is to be changed.
I selected Tools Macro Macros and chose PrintCopies. I also tried from VBA while the macro was visible by selecting Run Run Sub/UserForm Thank you. -----Original Message----- Sandra, How are you running the macro, and what is the current selection when you do it? Did you assign the macro to a button on the sheet, do you have a graph selected, etc.... HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Sandra" wrote in message ... Bernie, I copied and pasted the code. When I tried to run the macro, I received this message: "Compile error: Invalid Outside Procedure" ???? Thanks Sandra -----Original Message----- Sandra, Instead of using the before print method, your could use a little macro: Sub PrintCopies() Dim i As Integer Dim iCopies As Integer iCopies = Application.InputBox("How many copies?") For i = 1 To iCopies Range("A1").Value = Range("A1").Value + 1 ActiveSheet.PrintOut Next i End Sub HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Sandra" wrote in message ... Bernie, this works great! What does "Cancel As Boolean" mean? Now, can you tell me how to have the program ask me how many copies, accept my answer and print that many? I think I know how to "call" the code below within the code I just requested. Thanks. -----Original Message----- Sandra, You could use the Before_Print event: Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean) Range("A1").Value = Range("A1").Value + 1 End Sub Change the A1 to the cell of interest. Or you could use a macro to print multiple copies, incrementing the cell each time through the loop. HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Sandra" wrote in message ... I have a cell in a worksheet that I want to add 1 to each time the page is printed. For example 4300 this time, 4301 next time, 4302 next. I know this is easy in programming, but I don't know where to start in Excel. . . . |
