Print Preview Office 2007?
 

Hi There,

I'm trying to get print preview to work from a form in office 2007.
The form needs to have showmodal=true. In previous versions of offce
I
could hide the form, then open print preview and everything would
work.


In 2007 I hide the form, open print preview and all the buttons are
grayed out. If I set the showmodal property on the form which calls
the print preview = false everything works. I don't want to set the
showmodal to false. I just want to hide the form and open the print
preview. Any suggestions? I was thinking of programatically switching
the modal property but apparently that can only be set at runtime.


Thanks,
Gil

I just threw together a quick example like this:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Me.Hide
Sheet1.PrintPreview
Me.Show
End Sub

and it worked the same in Excel 2007 as 2003. All buttons in Print Preview
were enabled. Your situation must have another wrinkle or two.

Jim,

Did you have showmodal=true on the form?

No because modal is the default.

My problem is that modal and has to be set to true and then I can not
do a print preview after hiding the form...
