I'm trying to print out three sheets from different workbooks using the
printout method.

It is fine when I step through it but if I run it proper it crashes, there
seems to be some problem with the printing as nothing is printed.

Is it because the workbook is closed before printing?

I have seen a post before with the same type of question but no real answer.
I tried sleeping but that did not seem to work.

Any comments would be welcome.

Here is the code:

TIA Martin.
