Hello all,

What I´m trying to do:
Everytime I open an existing Workbook I want the PrintSettings for all
the sheets to be Draft. I cannot do this in the printersettings
directly because of restrictions.

What I came up with so far:
In my Personal.xls I did the following:

- I created a new class module: Class1
- I wrote in Class1:
Public WithEvents App As Application
- I wrote in Class1:
Private Sub App_WorkbookOpen(ByVal WB As Excel.Workbook)
Dim page As Worksheet
For Each page In Worksheets
page.PageSetup.Draft = True
Next page
End Sub

This doesn´t do the trick... can anyone tell me why not?

thanks
Fries

Fries,

You have to enable application events. I do this by adding this line in my
Workbook_Open event (for Personal.xls)


Set AppClass.App = Application

assuming the class is named AppClass. Have you done this?

That workbook event can also be run from the VBE by clicking in the event
code and run.

You need to create an instance of Class1 in a normal code module,
and then set the App variable to the Application. E.g.,

Dim AppClass As Class1
Set AppClass.App = Application

Dim AppClass As Class1
Set AppClass.App = Application

should be
Dim AppClass As Class1
Set AppClass = New Class1
Set AppClass.App = Application
