Printing without seeing the sheet

[DBishop]

I am having a user input some info. The info gets tested, another
hidden form gets the data applied to the proper cells and then printed.

Q1 How can I print the correctly filled sheet without making it
visible?
Q2 Will I have to create another instance of excel to do this?
How can I create the other instance and keep it hidden?
etc...

Tks

Hi DB,

You must unhide it before you can print it. To prevent the worksheet
from becoming visible, use Application.ScreenUpdating = False. I got
the following Sub from another thread:

=========================
Public Sub printHiddenWs(ByVal ws As Excel.Worksheet)
Dim hidden As Long
With ws
.Application.ScreenUpdating = False
hidden = .Visible
.PrintOut
.Visible = hidden
.Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub
=========================
