PrintQuality setting - is -3 a valid setting?
What's the trick to avoid a run time error the PrintQuality setting in
Page Setup? Do I delete that line to let it default on the end users machine? I'm appending recorded code from both Excel 2003 SP2 and 2000, for what it's worth. My main concern is 2003, but it'd be nice to know whatever other hiccups might await me out there. In 2000 the setting was in terms of dpi; in 2003 it's an index.I don't know if that's material to the issue, though - a co-worker got the run time error even though she's running the same version of Excel that I used to record the macro (2003).

PrintQuality setting - is -3 a valid setting?
Bill,
For what's it's worth, the Object Browser, shows this for PrintQuality Property PrintQuality([Index]) Excel.PageSetup rather than Property TopMargin As Double I don't have Help or a printer installed here, so I can't check further.

Thanks - I believe it corresponds with the Medium setting. I think -1 is
Draft, thru to -4 for High.Looks like 2002 works the same way; just checked it out on another machine. 'Excel VBA for Applications - 2nd Ed' from '96 by Jeff Webb discusses it. Says -1 thru -4 are the valid settings. J. Walk's "Excel Power Programming w/VBA" and "Excel 2003 VBA - programmer reference" (Kimmel, et al) don't seem to discuss it much - or I haven't found it yet.

PrintQuality setting - is -3 a valid setting?
Bill,
Excel XP & Excel 2000 seem to behave the same; it's the printer driver that determines permitted values. Whilst it appears all drivers should support the Index values, some don't. Adobe PDF: PrintQuality takes a dpi value and errors with -1,-2 etc values. HP Deskjet: PrintQuality takes -1,-2, etc value and errors with dpi values MS Fax: PrintQuality = Array(200, 100) or dpi value and errors with -1,-2 etc values. These values match those that appear in the "Print Quality" combo on the Page setup dialog, not surprisingly. Getting these values would probably require the GetPrinter, GetDeviceCaps etc APIs as they are not exposed by Excel (or VB's Printer object). A simpler approach would be to try a dpi value; if it error, try a -1 value. NickHK "Bill G" wrote in message . .. Thanks - I believe it corresponds with the Medium setting.
