Print Area

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a macro that filters data to a worksheet I then want the user to view
and print the filtered area if they want. So I have this macro that prints a
thru k problem is it doesn't just print the area with data it keeps print all
the way down the page. Can anyone tell me what I need to add to just print
the area that changes.

Sub PrintActiveSheet()
'
' PrintActiveSheet Macro
' Macro created 4/17/2005 by Jennifer S. Klever
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
'Sort active range
Worksheets("FilterDate").Range("A7").Sort _
Key1:=Worksheets("FilterDate").Columns("a"), _
Key2:=Worksheets("filterDate").Columns("b"), _
Header:=xlGuess
'Print range column a thru K
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "a" & SRow & ":K" & ERow
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.BlackAndWhite = True
.PrintComments = xlPrintNoComments
.LeftFooter = "MFV"
.RightFooter = "&d"
.CenterHorizontally = True

End With
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Preview:=True, collate:=True

End Sub

seems ok to me...
Sub PrintActiveSheet()
Dim srow As Long
Dim erow As Long
srow = 2
erow = 99

'Print range column a thru K
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "a" & srow & ":K" & erow
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.BlackAndWhite = True
.PrintComments = xlPrintNoComments
.LeftFooter = "MFV"
.RightFooter = "&d"
.CenterHorizontally = True
ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
End With
ActiveSheet.PrintPreview

End Sub

I even copied and pasted what you wrote. I am still geting 28 pages with
headings and column k is not fitting in the page. Only a thru j and then k
few pages back. Now in Column L i have formulas all the way to L500 could
this be affecting it?

Not if you properly set your print area.

Manually, do Insert=>Name

Look at the printarea name's refers to. Does it appear correct - what you
expected?

If so, do a manual printPreview - is it correct.
