I am building an Excel spreadsheet that will be used to produce Invoices and
Delivery Notes via a web based IntraNet site. Since the usual toolbars and menus are not available in the Internet Explorer embedded Excel; I have been creating macros to allow the users to Save and Print. The print commands work fine but I am not able to create a macro that will present the user with a Save As dialogue box. The alternative solution I thought up was to install a PDF writing printer driver on all of the workstations and write a macro that would automatically change the printer selection and initiate a print out on click, resulting in a Save As dialogue box that woud allow the user to save the spreadsheet in PDF format to the location of their choice. Sub Save_IDN() ' ' Save_IDN Macro ' Macro recorded 25/03/2006 by Neal ' Dim STDprinter As String STDprinter = Application.ActivePrinter Application.ActivePrinter = "IDN on CPW2:" ' change printer Sheets(Array("Invoice", "DeliveryNote")).Select Sheets("Invoice").Activate ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True ' prints the active sheet Application.ActivePrinter = "Canon PIXMA iP1500 on Ne00:" ' change back to standard printer End Sub Although this works fine on locally stored spreadsheets, it doesn't when the file is launched from the web. Does anybody know how I can get my PDF system to work or alternatively achieve a Save As dialogue box. Many thanks in advance for any replies. |
