print command from command button in userform causes double chart
Excel 2007, SP2
I have an activex command button, "CommandButton1" on Sheet1, which issues command "UserForm1.Show"; in Userform1 I have a command button, "PrintIt" with the single line "ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Chart2").PrintPreview" in the _click event handler. (The same problem occurs with "printout", but this way I don't waste the paper.) What happens is, I get the chart in the preview window, but it's as if there is a smaller version of the chart on top of a larger version. As I indicated, if I use "...printout" instead of "...printpreview", it prints this way, too, i.e., with "2 images" of the chart, a smaller superimposed on a larger. The same line, "ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Chart2").PrintPreview" (or ..PrintOut), when attached directly to a command button on the spreadsheet, works as expected, with only one image of the chart. Be warned: if you try this with "PrintPreview", it'll hang up the sheet to the point that only killing it from taskman will get you out. I can provide a sample if that helps, but there doesn't appear any place to put an attachment. |

print command from command button in userform causes double chart
It sounds like you have inadvertantly added a second chart to
Sheets("Chart2"). "Mike Jamesson" wrote in message ...

print command from command button in userform causes double ch
If that were the case, it would show up whenever I did "print" or
"printpreview", right? here's the code for the button on the spreadsheet that calls printpreview itself Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Chart2").PrintPreview End Sub and here's the code that calls it from the command button on the userform: Private Sub cbPrintIt_Click() ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Chart2").PrintPreview End Sub And that's all the code there is in the entire workbook. Reproduce it yourself, you'll see. "JLGWhiz" wrote: It sounds like you have inadvertantly added a second chart to Sheets("Chart2"). "Mike Jamesson" wrote in message ...

print command from command button in userform causes double chart
More info: In Excel 2007 I saved it as a 2003 xls, then opened it in xl2003;
it printed correctly from both the spreadsheet command button and the userform command button.

print command from command button in userform causes double ch
You can always try selecting the Sheet first:
Sheets("Chart2").Select Activesheet.PrintOut Maybe you also need to hide the UserForm first: UserForm1.Hide "Mike Jamesson" wrote: More info: In Excel 2007 I saved it as a 2003 xls, then opened it in xl2003; it printed correctly from both the spreadsheet command button and the userform command button.

Thanks! Selecting the chart sheet didn't help, but hiding the userform did!
I'd still say it's a bug, though, since this problem does not exist in 2003. Thanks again.
