Personal.xls "Before Print"
Hi All......
Is it possible to write a Macro to keep in my Personal.xls file, that will take my "Before Print" macro from my Personal.xls file and install it as a "Before Print" macro in whatever Workbook I might have open?.......or any other way to make my Personal.xls "Before Print" macro to work on any open workbook, so that when that file is re-saved, the "Before Print" macro will be therein. TIA for your thoughts. Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 |

Hi
why not create a new workbook template (*.xlt file) which contains your beforeprint event macro already and base your furture files on this workbook "CLR" wrote: Hi All......

Another way: in Personal.xls create a class module with application level events. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/AppEvent.htm http://www.dicks-blog.com/excel/2004...s_applica.html -- Dick Kusleika MVP - Excel Excel Blog - Daily Dose of Excel www.dicks-blog.com "CLR" wrote in message ...

Thanks Frank........yes, that works fine for new WorkBooks, but I also want
to be able to modify any existing WorkBook I might open, modify, and re-use........ Right now, I just open the existing WorkBook and then do Tools Macro Macros and run the macro out of a module in my Personal.xls Book..........of course it only runs the macro once, rather than installing it as a Before-print macro, which is what I really want to do by macro control............what I'm doing, is using the Before-print macro to create a footer giving full path and filename and username of the computer.........this way, when reviewing hard copies printed by others, I know exactly where it came from, and whether it's potentially modified........users can of course delete or modify the footers but once they print it out, back comes my custom footers......
