I am having an issue using SendKeys! (I know, I know they are rubbish)
I have a requirement to print to specific trays for a specific worksheet and I therefore have set up 3 buttons on a sheets: Labels Only Band Only Labels & Band As i'm sure you all aware Excels abailty to send to a particular tray is somewhat lacking leaving me two options: 1. Use sendkeys 2. Set up the printer on the network for each tray. Unfortunately for reasons I shall not go into option 2 is not available so I am left with the first option. Here is the code I have (which incidently works very well) Sub Print_Labels() 'Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim laba As Variant laba = 1 Printing (laba) End Sub Sub Print_Wristbands() 'Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim laba As Variant laba = 2 Printing (laba) End Sub Sub Print_1Each() 'Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim laba As Variant laba = 3 Printing (laba) End Sub Sub Printing(laba As Variant) 'Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim y, x, w, v, p, o, sh As Variant Sheets("Patient Wristbands").Select Application.ScreenUpdating = False ActiveSheet.Unprotect Sheets("Patients").Visible = False Sheets("Wristbands").Visible = True Sheets("Labels").Visible = True Sheets("Patient Wristbands").Range("F1:M500").ClearContents Sheets("Patient Wristbands").Range("G2").Value = "The following LaserBand wristbands have been successfully printed." Sheets("Patient Wristbands").Range("G15").Value = "If there is a problem with this report please contact " Sheets("Patient Wristbands").Columns("E:R").EntireColumn.Hidden = False Select Case laba Case 1 'Print Labels Only sh = ("Labels") Sheets(sh).Select label_printing Case 2 'Print Wristbands Only sh = ("Wristbands") Sheets(sh).Select wristband_printing Case 3 'Print 1 Label, 1 Wristband sh = ("Wristbands") Sheets(sh).Select label_printing wristband_printing End Select End Sub Sub label_printing() Sheets("Labels").Select Application.SendKeys "%FP%R+^{PGDN}{TAB 3}{UP 10}{DOWN 10}{UP}~%R+^{PGUP}~~", True End Sub Sub wristband_printing() Sheets("Wristbands").Select Application.SendKeys "%FP%R+^{PGDN}{TAB 3}{UP 10}{DOWN 10}~%R+^{PGUP}~~", True End Sub Now Case 1 & 2 are great and run off as expected however Case 3 will only print the label and halt (without error) after completing that! Also if I add any code after the Case Select then the pages do not print either (again without error!) I do not understand why this would happen as just running the send keys works fine, and running just the send keys within the Case is fine also. I need the code to run within a do until as I would like it to run multiple prints at once! Any help would be gratefully received! Thanks Dan |
