Before Print Problem
Hi,
I have the following BeforePrint routine in my ThisWorkbook module which places a custom header on pages based on the value of cells in the sheet. It worked except now if the value of the cell changes, it is not picking up the change and stays with the old value in the header. This there something I am missing? Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean) 'add custom header to pages before printing With SumbyLineItempg.PageSetup .CenterHeader = "&C&14&B" & SumbyLineItempg.Range("E2").Value & _ "&4" & vbCrLf & "&12&A" & vbCrLf & " " End With With LineItemspg.PageSetup .CenterHeader = "&C&14&B" & LineItemspg.Range("C2").Value & _ "&4" & vbCrLf & "&12&A" & vbCrLf & " " End With With MainPagepg.PageSetup .CenterHeader = "&C&14&B" & MainPagepg.Range("B1").Value & _ "&4" & vbCrLf & "&12&A" & vbCrLf & " " End With End Sub -- Thanks for your help.

Before Print Problem
Are you sure you have the correct addresses in your code?
(You may want to give them nice range names and use those instead--it may be safer if rows/columns can be inserted/deleted.) Are you sure you still have .enableevents set to true before you print/print preview? It could be other code that turns that off--and doesn't turn it back on.

Before Print Problem
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your help. Yes, enable events is on and it is the correct address. I have found that if I select 'Print Preview' it corrects the problem and the page prints correctly. If I change the cell value and do not 'Print Preview' first, the header does not update with the new value. What is this? Do you know? -- Thanks for your help.

Before Print Problem
Hi Dave,
I have added these two statements right before my print command and I am still having the same problem.. Application.EnableEvents = True Application.ScreenUpdating = True I've named the range as you suggested and am using that instead. So, it is the correct location. Do you have any other suggestions? -- Thanks for your help. Karen53 "Dave Peterson" wrote: Are you sure you have the correct addresses in your code?

The named ranges won't fix the problem. But it may avoid future problems.

Before Print Problem
Without any testing at all...
How about adding this right before the End Sub DoEvents Maybe it'll allow some time for excel to catch up before the actually printing. But I really don't have a good reason why print preview works and print doesn't. Karen53 wrote: Hi Dave, Thanks for your help. Yes, enable events is on and it is the correct address.

Before Print Problem
Try assigning it to a variable so the string can be fully resolved before it
goes into the header, e.g. Dim HdrVal As String HdrVal = "&C&14&B" & SumbyLineItempg.Range("E2").Value & _ "&4" & vbCrLf & "&12&A" & vbCrLf & " " Debug.Print HdrVal .CenterHeader = HdrVal Then you can inspect it too to help narrow down the problem. -- Tim Zych SF, CA "Karen53" wrote in message ...

Hi,
Thank you for the suggestion, Tim. It was a great idea. My immediate window shows the code executing and returns the correct Header, but the printed copy still shows the old header.

Before Print Problem
Hmm, it works for me. If you try this in a new workbook, does the same
behavior occur? Does this occur for a different printer? I'm wondering if there's a page setup configuration / zoom factor / page breaks / preview mode / which sheet is active / how is printing being invoked or some other page-setup issue that is causing the code to be buggy. -- Tim Zych SF, CA "Karen53" wrote in message ...

Just to muddy the waters...
What version of excel are you using? What type of view are you using: Normal, page break preview, print layout? If you create a new workbook with just enough data for testing and plop the code in there, does that look ok? I don't have a guess why it's not working for you. Karen53 wrote: This is so frustrating!

Before Print Problem
Hi,
So far I have tried this at home and at work with the same result. I have created a new workbook and the code works. I thought perhaps it was because the workbook was protected. So, I tried it and it still worked. There has to be something different with this workbook. I am going through what I can think of one at a time to see if it makes a difference. It executes the code but doesn't make the change. So far I haven't fouind the difference. I'll continue tying difference things tomorrow. There are only so many things I know of to try, though. I am using Excel 2003 SP2 at home. At work I believe it is version 2003 as well. I'll check tomorrow. This is so strange. I don't have a lot of experience with this. Your help is very appreciated. --- Thanks for your help. Karen53 "Dave Peterson" wrote: Just to muddy the waters... What version of excel are you using?

I wouldn't use the .select and Selection lines. To select a range, the sheet
that owns that range has to be active--and that may not be true. But I'm not sure what you mean by stops working. Does this mean that the code doesn't even run--or it runs, but the headers don't change (or printareas don't change). And if you're running this stuff using code, is there any chance that you've disabled events before doing the printout. If you did, then the workbook_beforeprint won't even fire.

Before Print Problem
Well, you lasted longer than I would have <vbg.
Karen53 wrote: HI Dave, Since it's working in the general modules, I just dumped the 'BeforePrint'. Why fight city hall. -- Thanks for your help. Karen53 "Dave Peterson" wrote: I still don't have a guess. Sorry. Karen53 wrote: Hi Dave, It will not work if it is in ThisWorkbook's 'BeforePrint' routine. However, if I move the code into the individual print routines in the general modules, it works just fine so far. -- Thanks for your help. Karen53 "Dave Peterson" wrote: Does it work when you use: File|print or File|Print preview Karen53 wrote: Hi, Also it's the same for both workbooks. It was working because I was using the print button on the toolbar. -- Thanks for your help. Karen53 "Dave Peterson" wrote: I still can't duplicate it. I don't have another guess. Karen53 wrote: Hi, So far I have tried this at home and at work with the same result. I have created a new workbook and the code works. I thought perhaps it was because the workbook was protected. So, I tried it and it still worked. There has to be something different with this workbook. I am going through what I can think of one at a time to see if it makes a difference. It executes the code but doesn't make the change. So far I haven't fouind the difference. I'll continue tying difference things tomorrow. There are only so many things I know of to try, though. I am using Excel 2003 SP2 at home. At work I believe it is version 2003 as well. I'll check tomorrow. This is so strange. I don't have a lot of experience with this. Your help is very appreciated. --- Thanks for your help. Karen53 "Dave Peterson" wrote: Just to muddy the waters... What version of excel are you using? What type of view are you using: Normal, page break preview, print layout? If you create a new workbook with just enough data for testing and plop the code in there, does that look ok?
