JJ,
I use the code below to generate a list of all the visible worksheets
with a caption of the sheetname and a checkbox for each. The user then
selects which sheets they want printed. You should easily be able to
adapt for your requirements by changing the lines suffixed 'XXXXX ie
Call mymacro
This is from an earlier version of Excel and is therefore a dialogsheet
rather than a form but it still works!
Let ma know how you get on.
